Today when I was visiting the marketplace for some new pots, I came across a merchant selling these odd, a bit fabric-like white sheets. He told me that the Egyptians make these from reeds to write on them.
Personally, I don’t see a need for such a material. Just use a clay tablet like a normal person!
I’m going to stick to clay tablets too. The guy down the street was cursed by the gods and his house burned down. Took all his beer recipes to Anu since they were written on papyrus. Good clay tablets fired well will last a long time and fire just adds some nice dark mode text.
If I wanted people reading my words millennia from now, I’d chisel them into stones. My communications are private. Get with the times, grandpa!
Then soak your tablets after writing them!
Miss me with that woke shit! Next thing you know the slaves will want to learn to read!
Clay was good enough for my great-grandfather when he was putting his signet ring on a ball to identify the amphora as coming from his market stall and it’s good enough for me to read the Epic of Gilgamesh on. I just don’t get these Egyptians.
too weak. when me make strong word, tool makes hole in papyrus. clay much stronger.
PAPYRUS IS VERY POPULAR!! AND COOL!!
When you light papyrus on fire, it turns into ash. When you light a clay tablet on fire, it becomes stronger than before.
AND HIS PUZZLES ARE ALWAYS PERFECTLY IN CALIBRATION!
Works better than sea shells.
