From the sprint 2, i learned how to elaborate form of picture writing. It was deliberately kept complicated so that not many people could master it and scribes could keep their special position.We could be written from left to right, right to left, or top to bottom. Besides that, i learned that scribes used a different form of writing (script), called hieratic, which was a fast-written version of hieroglyphs, always running from right to left for business contracts, letters, and stories. Furthermore, an even more rapid script evolved, called demotic.
