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.
