Penmanship was very important to the scribes of ancient Egypt. They were the literate group of the society and were pivotal in the Egyptian bureaucracy. The ability to read and write not only granted them administrative positions, but also knowledge of the divine words and cultivation of good moral conduct. The scribes were the model to which success and achievement was measured. For those who dedicated themselves to writing, their names were assured to last for eternity when read out loud through scrolls long after their demise. Indeed, through the writings of these record keepers of ancient Egyptians day to day life, we have been able to collect abundant knowledge of the civilization’s rich history.
