Interesting study, ...But I recon it wouldn’t be complete unless one was to factor in the biblical account of the great flood..And possibly a few more events older than that, , but then I don’t know all that much about those things., thanks for sharing.

Not certain how the study has held up in the years since it was first proposed. Ron, as far as a writing system, that suggestion has been offered over the years. Not sure how far it has advanced, probably not accepted by many. Here is an effort along those lines that I read many years ago:
