Since ancient times, when people wanted to buy or sell their goods (trade), they have traveled to other areas. As they travel, they spread their customs, such as the Phoenicians spread their alphabet. Foreigners who didn't have an alphabet thought that it looked like a useful idea -- and many adopted it -- with some changes.
