The history of communications is long and kinda interesting, however, it really depends on how far back you want to go and where you are. For instance, almost all civilizations on the Eurasian land mass and in Northern Africa have used messengers on horseback, carrying written messages on the medium of the day. In Mesopotamia, modern-day Iraq, that medium was clay tablets. In Egypt and throughout the Roman Empire, they used papyrus. China and Japan used paper. And that system persisted until the telegram and telephone took over in the mid-19th to early-20th centuries. During the same period, other nations in other parts of the world depended on different methods. The Inca of South America used runners with knotted cords, and many other Native American cultures relied on the ability of a runner to remember the exact words of their cheiftan, regent, or elder council. Still other cultures relied on other methods from smoke signals to horn blasts to light towers. So, to answer your question, it depends on time and place as to what the primary method of communication was.
