Stone will last through the test of time far longer than paper (papyrus).
even though writing on stone by means of chisel was developed before papyrus and ink was invented, it continued to endure as an art to preserve the granduer on temple walls for instance, and to make sure that important writings and stories and sacred rituals would last for as long as possible..
here is a poem by Percy bysshe Shelley which i admitedly did actually copy and paste as i couldn't remember it all, it is meant to be about ramesses the great and i feel it captures the idea; even stone will decay but it will last longer and be grander than ink on paper...
(if im not allowed to do this i apologise)
I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

The Egyptians used clay and stone tablets, and at a later point created scrolls of papyrus, the crushed and pressed pith from river reeds.
Ancient Egyptians used hieroglyphs to write on papyrus or carve into stone.
Ancient Egyptians do not exist today. Modern Egyptians read and write Arabic, which is the national language of Egypt.
