Scribes would record laws, and write down anything important the king had to say. The king would also ask the scribes for advice and have them make decrees.
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.

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.
Thoth was the ancient Egyptian god of knowledge, hieroglyphs and wisdom.

Thoth was the God of the sacred word. His job (within the afterlife) was to read the texts by which to judge the purity or guilt of the heart of the deceased. In order to pass through to the afterlife, Thoth had to announce that the deceased was not wicked at heart by recounting his misdeeds and deeds. Ma'at would deliver the Judgement and Thoth would read out the verdict.

In ancient Egypt, scribes recorded trading systems. It usually took about 4-5 years to become a scribe, and it was very difficult. Scribes would use reeds as pens or pencils, and they would dip it in ink. The people who became scribes were the children of the scribes. Scribes were usually men, but there might have been some women.
