Before Egypt was at it's height in power, and at it's most notable and recognizable, there were small farming communities using obsidian and other elements to make blades. As they grew, they began expanding their territory, trading with other cultures around the Nile. One culture made a wide selection of material goods, including combs, painted decorative pottery, quality vases made of stone, and jewelry made mainly of gold and ivory. They also created a ceramic glaze used to decorate cups, amulets, and figurines. As they kept growing as a civilization, this culture began using written symbols from their pottery designs and other artwork that eventually became a full system of hieroglyphs and symbols for writing.
