I believe in conspiracies...but please...
Look.....Triangles/Pyramids/Illuminati !!!
Ummm...Think about further back in history...The Great Pyramid was built *before* the Phonecians invented the form of writing that our modern alphabet
is based upon...
Actually though, the letter "A" (they called it "Aleph") started out being upside-down & the cross-bar in the middle was longer, extending out of
the angled sides of the "V"-shape. It was originally intended to represent an ox or cow because they were trying to keep track of their merchant
trades; Since everything at that time was written on clay tablets & the Phonecians wrote from top-to-bottom, right-to-left, they had a tendency to
accidently smear what they had just written...So they turned the tablet (& the writing of the script itself) sideways so that they could avoid
smearing their writings. Eventually, the "turning of the script" gave us the letter "A" as we see & use it now. As a side-note, the Phonecians,
like most other ancient civilizations who had writing, didn't have any vowels...Those were added by the Greeks when they were struggling out of their
"Dark Ages" & borrowed ideas from other cultures in order to get out of those Dark Ages in the first place.
The original Phonecian writing was mostly some kind of a book-keeper's code to keep the Jews & the Egyptians from figuring out Phonetian trade
practices...
The connections there are probably much more innocent than you're trying to lead us into believing...
