Today when I was visiting the marketplace for some new pots, I came across a merchant selling these odd, a bit fabric-like white sheets. He told me that the Egyptians make these from reeds to write on them.

Personally, I don’t see a need for such a material. Just use a clay tablet like a normal person!

    I’m going to stick to clay tablets too. The guy down the street was cursed by the gods and his house burned down. Took all his beer recipes to Anu since they were written on papyrus. Good clay tablets fired well will last a long time and fire just adds some nice dark mode text.
