Cornish Tin

Here is a bit of text where i'm playing with the relationship between Cornwall and Lebanon via the phoenician alphabet and tin; 


I am not in Cornwall I am one hundred thousand years old,

This sentence is part of a simulation.

They came here and bought tin from the Cornish. The Cornish were all completely mad because there thoughts were without form.

Darkness was over the face of the deep.

Because the phonectians used their alphabet to detail the tin they bought from the Cornish, this made the Cornish sane.

Sane by association.

It was a hundred years before reaching the Cornish tin that scribes of Byblos developed an alphabetic phonetic script, the precursor of our modern alphabet. By 800 B.C., it had travelled to Greece, changing forever the way humans communicated.

Nearly all alphabets in the world today either descend directly from this development or were inspired by its design.

This happened because of proto capitalism or capitalism*


*This sentence is also a part of the simulation  although there is some absolute truth in this.
