the egyptians made the pen out of reeds
==
New Answer:
In the Old Kingdom, the scribe had a kit called a _mnHD_. In the New Kingdom, he had one called a _gsty_. The writing tool was wet with water and then dipped into a cake of ink, much like with a modern children's water color kit.
In the Old Kingdom, the Egyptians wrote on papyrus support with an ink made of soot, gum arabic, and sometimes honey or other ingredients. The normally used lengths of Juncus maritimus / sea rush, dressed to function much like a moder felt tip calligraphy marker. In the Old Kingdom, there were two styles of inked glyphs, Elaborate Linear, and Hieratic. In the Middle Kingdom, a blend of these two appeared in recitation texts, now know as Semi-Cursive Hieroglyphic. The script, found in Dynasty XIX scrolls of the Book of the Dead, is sometimes called Cursive Hieroglyphic, though it is not cursive in that the glyphs are not drastically simplified, nor are they ligatured, as in true cursive scripts. Some books say that the Egyptian pen, the _ary_, was prepared by smashing the end, but this is how brushes for applying areas of painted color were made. For inked scripts that can truly be called written calligraphy, the tool was a thin rush instrument prepared by slicing the end in such a way that the scribe had immediate control over the width of his line, as well as better control over straightness of lines and smoothness of curves, much like later reed pens. The _ary_ was slim and graceful to facilitate the writing of glyphs sometimes without the hand touching the papyrus, as this might obliterate the writing which, by tradition, was from right to left. Some examples of left to right semi-cursive can be seen, but they usually rather shaky and rarely compare to the best examples of right to left Egyptian manuscript lettering.
Some coffins of bare wood were decorated with Coffin Texts in ink written with semi-cursive. Other coffins of painted wood are sometimes decorated with linear glyphs painted with a brush. While hieratic was a written script and linear was a drawn script, semi-cursive might best be described as a cartooned script, as the original geometry of mural glyphs is imitated, while modifying the symbols so that they could be formed with optimum speed and style. Thus, today, the best tools to use for practicing Book of the Dead writing are the same tools used by cartoonists and calligraphers. A ball point pen or a paint brush will not help a student of Egyptian ink technique to achieve an authentic handwriting.
