:The Hebrew alphabet is certainly not older. To quote from Hebrew alphabet: "The modern script used for writing Hebrew (usually called the Jewish script by scholars, and also traditionally known as the square script, or the Assyrian script), evolved during the 3rd century BC from the Aramaic script, which was used by Jews for writing Hebrew since the 6th century BC." The Greek alphabet, on the other hand, has been in continuous use since the 9th century BC.
