Are there any references that the English language is written and read from left to right and from top to bottom?

Question

What is the basis this? I have practically done hours of research and I couldn't find any source or reference about this. I AM NOT ASKING WHY. I AM ASKING FOR A REFERENCE.

Answer 1

So much of our history is just that, history. The whys and wherefores are lost; therefore, we speculate. And with them went the original source. Nonetheless, perhaps you will find this link helpful: https://comicphonics.com/2013/05/01/why-do-we-read-in-english-from-left-to-right/,
