Would you like to be one of the only people who know how to write in ancient Egypt not many people new how to need or write?
These were some of the different types of writing in hieroglyphics, hieratic and Coptic. These writing forms started as early as 3000 bc about 5000 years ago. This continued for around 3500 years maybe even a little more. Only a few people new how to read and write these people were called scribes.
Scribes
Scribes were one of the most important people because they were the only ones that new how to read and write. There weren’t many scribes firstly because you had to start at a young age learning by an older scribe another reason is you have to be born into a family with scribes or you had to pay a big amount of money
