What did the scribe do in ancient Egypt?
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.
Why were the priests upset that Hatshepsut's priestesses wore the masks of Horus and Thoth?
As Thoth and Horus were traditional male deities, a female priestess waring there masks would brake that tradition. I assume you refer to "His Majesty, Queen Hatshepsut" by Dorothy Sharp Carter.
What jobs did scribes in ancient Egypt do?
the scribes went to scribe school from dawn till dusk every day, and had to learn 700 hieroglyphics. if they did something wrong, they would be beaten. scribes had to record everything.Instead of writing with a pencil (which is very easy to use) they wrote with papyrus, which is a type of reed. it was a difficult job, and very difficult to train for it. only men could become scribes.
