Scribe of Egypt

‎Scribes were vital to functional religion, government, and commerce. In Mesopotamia they mastered cuneiform script and the materials needed to write it, from a reed stylus on clay to metal tools on bronze. Egyptian scribes wrote, painted, or chiseled hieroglyphics on nearly any surface they could use, including cloth.
