Scribes, then as now, had many duties. (Today, we would call these people journalists or reporters. They observe events and write about them.) In ancient times, the job of the scribe was provide a written record of all important information, in order to preserve it for future reference. Sometimes, scribes recorded legal contracts or documents for the government; sometimes they reported the official news events so that the public would know the great deeds of their leaders; sometimes they wrote down hymns of praise to the gods and goddesses, to be used in worship. Scribes in ancient Egypt used hieroglyphics (picture-writing) as their means of communication, writing on papyrus, using reed pens dipped in ink.
