Have you ever wondered how the letters of the English alphabet got their shape? It is a compilation of interesting stories, and you can hear them all thanks to an educational video by YouTube content creator Olly Richards.

In a video shared on YouTube a while back, Richards went through the origins of each letter used in the English alphabet while sharing all sorts of cool and interesting facts.

For example, the letter “A” originated from the Phoenician alphabet. It was originally turned sideways or upside down while its shape resembled one of an ox head.

The letter “R” has its origins in Ancient Egypt, where it mimicked the profile of a human head and was pronounced “resh,” which meant “head.” The Greeks and the Romans later modified the letter to suit their needs and gave it its current shape.

Also, there are five letters in the English alphabet that can trace their shape from the same letter. To find them out and learn more about the letters you use every day, check out Richards’ video below. 

“Axes and eyeballs and snakes. Oh my! Here are 26 stories about the alphabet your teacher never told you,” Richards shared in the caption of the video.

Las Vegas-based illustrator Abbie Paulhus has been recreating the alphabet using famous movie characters and places for months now.

One of her recent works is from the characters of Wes Anderson movies, which start with the letter “A” for Agatha of The Grand Budapest Hotel, and wrapped it up with “Z” for Zero Moustafa, the lobby boy-turned-owner of the legendary hotel.

She also tried her skills to fill the 26 letters with characters from the TV show, The Office. Besides TV shows and films, she created English alphabet posters made up of famous landmarks of Michigan, San Francisco, Arizona and many more.

She also sells adorable illustrations, greeting cards and pins via her Esty shop.
