The used alphabet is almost two thousands years older than the Phoenician alphabet, but don't you see some similarities between them?
 

There are some researches about it, this one is interesting: http://www.elamit.net/elam/jiroft.pdf

Yes there are similarities, definetely. Earlier in this forum we saw similarities in early chinese script. Similarities occur in the linear script of Dispilio as well (7250 years old).

There are many similar examples generally. The difference is that those old symbols are scripts and not alphabets.
