How come? Is chiseling easier from right to left?
Comment on why is the beginning on the left and the end on the right?

It’s because of the tools used to write a language. Some languages were written with a brush so go top to bottom. Some were written with a chisel so they go right to left.

If you’re right-handed, which most people are, then yes.

It is if you’re right-handed. The majority of humans are right handed. Especially since there was a period of time when left handed people were being killed off so we kinda had a bit of eugenics in the mix on that.

Swinging with right hand, holding with left (for right-handed people). So you can see what you’ve done so far as you go, just like writing with your right hand from left to right.
