[Octavius]

Hieroglyphs (Holy Writings) were written on papyrus reed, which is a water or marsh plant, with tall straight hollow stems. The stems of the reeds were flattened, dried, and stuck together to make pages. The Egyptians also carved hieroglyphs onto stone and painted them on the walls of the tombs.

Egyptian writing was done with pen and ink onto papyrus. Egyptian "pens" were thin, sharp reeds, which they would dip in ink made from plants which they crushed and mixed with water.
