Ancient script link

There's a mass of ancient (and modern) scripts to be found here: http://www.omniglot.com/writing/ . I was looking for ages for something covering Nabataean, but everything else is there as well.

yes, I love omniglot.  It is extremely useful - it's come in handy with me for Arabic, Proto-Hebrew and others...

I think the last column should be labelled 'modern Hebrew' or something similar. It's the square Aramaic script in use today, but the anachronistic script used on Hasmonean coins (at a time when the square characters were already standard) is also Hebrew!
