With the evolution of human civilization, there arises a strict need of communication. Writing is one good way of expressing views and ideas for ‘one too many’ communication process. Language was invented long before the script or any other writing process discovered. Apart from a mode of communication, writing is the major source of recording. In the ancient times, when scripts were not invented, symbolic communication method was used. Even today, archeologists and paleontologists find many such written transcriptions, which verbalize a lot about history.
From proto writing to script writing, human civilization has faced a huge change and even today, after inventing the numerous languages, we are still facing the changes. From the early ages, many methods of writing were adopted for conserving the information. Engraving on stones or metal was the first method adopted by humans to write. Then Israel made the first ever use of plaster and stone for more finished writings. Egyptians also brought the gypsum into use, though their technique was little different. They first smoothed the stones; uneven surfaces were filled up by cement or gypsum to obtain the perfectly uniform space for engraving. Then came the era of tablets and rolls, which belongs to Chaldean and Egyptian origin respectively. Tablets were considered as the most notable remains. These were the clay pieces somewhat similar to pillows on which cuneiform characters were inscribed with stylus.
Egyptians have their own unique way of preserving their writings. They used papyrus wooden tablets placed on their monuments. With this invention, writing became more popular in Egypt. Parchment paper made up of sheep skin was considered as the more affordable option for writing. By far, the writing cost was high, which comparatively decline after the discovery of wood pulp paper.
Manuscripts are considered as the most resourceful medium of knowledge. If our ancestors did not make the transcripts, then probably we would not have been able to unfold the mysteries of the past to such extent. Exchange of ideas and information across the world can be expressed in oral ways but to some extent, everyone faces a language barrier. That is why written manuscripts are considered the best way of sharing information.
