Today, we know the art of calligraphy actually observes by its origins in real cave paintings. When communications in back days was a grunt by series, the hand-written word now so called "Calligraphy” was a significant pictorial representation of important events in lives of caveman. Under the Egyptian direction the drawing art pictures became quite highly developed and achieve great peaks, with the developed by humans. Around BC 3500, the Egyptians had created highly stylized hieroglyphics by which it is so well known. Inside tombs these symbols were incised and painted by brushes across paper of papyrus. After some thousand years, around BC 1000, by went further ahead the Phoenicians developed that is believed to be one of the 1st alphabets and luckily writing systems. The Phoenicians saw faring types with they have passed along new talents to every seaport through calligraphy experts had passed. They have influenced the Greeks that later developed "Envelope Addressing” by their hand-writing and by BC 850 Romans had adapted for suit the language of Latin.

It happened by Latin, in Europe it was the lingua franca of the churches in the middle Ages or the smattering of nobility that constituted only literate people of society for calligraphy in future time..
