Did Egyptian people have books?
Hello,Ancient Egyptians did not have books as we would recognize them today, but they did have a writing system. Around 3000 B.C. ancient Egyptians used a form of picture writing called Hieroglyphics and later as the need for a portable writing surface developed, they created papyrus, a stiff material with a surface like paper that was made from the reed plant. The English word "paper" comes from "papyrus." Eventually papyrus was replaced with parchment which resembled our modern paper that books are printed on. Books as we know them today were developed much later around A.D. 300 when early Christians popularized the codex, sheets of parchment sewn together on one side. I verified this information from World Book Encyclopedia web site (worldbookonline.com). They have much more information on Egyptian writing and the development of books.
