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!
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.
I can carry a whole stack of papyrus with the same weight as one slab of clay. Also if the clay falls down, it breaks. Papyrus survives falls easily. It’s so light, it floats on the air.
Why would you need to carry that much text anyway? And if you’re dropping your tablets constantly, then that just sounds like a skill issue.
My profession is letter carrier.
AND HIS PUZZLES ARE ALWAYS PERFECTLY IN CALIBRATION!
