Scribes were among the most respected workers in ancient Egypt. Following the religious god Thoth, they are depicted in hieroglyphics as having used wooden palettes, brushes, pens made from Nile reeds and rolls of papyrus. Scribes in training practiced on a substance called ostraca, which is a piece of easily attainable pottery or stone that was less expensive to make. Red and black were the primary colors of their ink, typically made of a mixture of soot, gum and red oxide.

∙ 13y agoScribes in ancient Egypt have the same role as scribes during the Dynasties of China, or Mayan scribes. Many people in ancient civilizations where illiterate, and so had to employ a scribe to write. Rulers would sometimes dictate documents to their scribe, who would write it down as an official letter.
