Horses, Gods and Scribes

More than 3 billions contemporary human beings write with alphabets coming from a single origin. And to find it, you must dive into the heart of the history of horseback riding!
We investigated the astonishing relationship between the alphabet and the equestrian arena, this familiar and yet non explicit tool, illustrated with letters.
To understand the mystery, we must go back to the sources of writing, find the meanings, the original symbols, and determine which people, what political will, and what intentions presided over this double invention.
Whether you practice horseback riding or not, an essential and fascinating series of letters intrigues us. We go beyond them by reading them automatically, without perceiving their perfect positions, without dwelling on their real meanings.
In one sense, AFPBRMCGIDLDKVESH, or in another, ADLXIGCFMRBPFHSEVK and AFDKVLPBXE-SIRMGHC if you want to zig-zag, these 17 letters adorn the moments of all the efforts that lead to horseback riding: the equestrian arenas.
Together with carousels and quarries, they form the high places of learning where humans communicate with horses in the hope that by dint of training, understanding and loving patience, the actions of some will be trans-formed into reactions on the part of others and vice versa.
The ridding arena is well known, but like a mysterious cassette or a mythical set, this device remains strange in its form as well as in its décor. He does not speak to us, he writes to us, awakening a curiosity eager for answers to our questions:
Who wrote this? At what point of History? To tell us what? Why did they do it this way? To meet what needs?
And finally, where ?
Bonus: How did it get to us?
Of course, the explanations found must be complete and as credible as possible in the presentation of the combination of their motivations. Our quest is twofold since it scrutinizes the intertwined histories of horseback riding and writing.
