Jaars Museum of the Alphabet

The Alphabet Museum provides a graphic overview of something we tend to take for granted: the importance of alphabets. It also tells of the people who made them and reminds us that the process of making them is not yet complete. There are still many languages without a writing system. It is for this, who speak these languages, that Wycliffe Bible Translators and the Summer Institute of Linguistics exist. To date, they have worked with speakers of over 1000 languages.
JAARS is a nonprofit organization committed to speeding Bible translation for all people. They provide technical support services and resources to Wycliffe Bible Translators, SIL International and related organizations around the world.

The kids were able to make their names with Egyptian hieroglyphics.

We got to see replicas of the Dead Sea Scrolls, and different scrolls from the Old Testaments and how they were translated.  The Museum covers all languages and their developments and includes new languages they are trying to create alphabets for.  It is a a neat place to visit.
