This archaeological indication finds an evocative literary match in the Biblical account of the advent of writing on Mount Sinai, in the context of the Exodus of the Hebrew people, led by Moses fleeing Egypt. Raised in the Egyptian court, Moses is the protagonist of a technical and spiritual revolution at once, which with the introduction of the alphabet and the tablets of the law inaugurated the religion of the book, a culture still shared after three millennia by Jews, Christians and Muslims."}
