What about the relation between Phoenician and Vincha scripts?http://vukotic.atspace.com/vincha_script.htm
Vincha script (symbols) appeared to be older for a few milleniums than
Poenician, Proto-Sinaitic, or even Egyptian.http://www.omniglot.com/writing/vinca.htm

In addition, we can see that the names of Phoenicia and Vincha are
strikingly similar (correspondent) and that similarity seems to be
referring to the same basis of their names (maybe, related to vine?).

There is no reason to suppose that the Vinca signs are "writing." They
do not contain recurring same sequences!

I am a total laymen in this field, but I think, were it "writing" or
not is/might be irrelevant here. The fact is, we have signs (symbols)
in Vincha that are similar or (almost) identical to those used as an
alphabet in Phoenicia. And, I believe, it demands a much more profound
explanation than the one you have just offered.

There are "signs" everywhere in the world that resemble "signs" used
everywhere else in the world. Since we're talking about simple
combinations of lines and curves, there is absolutely no significance
whatsoever to those resemblances, unless we know that they denote the
same things.

In old books on writing, you'll find the mention that some Armenian
letters look like some Ethiopic letters.

So what? They don't represent the same sounds, and there is no
connection.
