were one of the first people to write things down in hieroglyphics in three thousand and five hundred BC. The
people who could read and write in hieroglyphics are scribes. Scribes started off poor. Parents needed money
to send their boys to school to become scribes. When they were sent to school they learnt how to write in
hieroglyphics and could then get a good job.
