Answer 1

The development of hieroglyphics gave Egyptians a reliable way to record laws, religious beliefs, administrative records, and historical events, which made complex government, organized labor projects, and a shared culture possible. The invention of papyrus provided a portable, durable writing material that made record-keeping, correspondence, and education much easier than carved stone. Together they improved administration, allowed knowledge to be preserved and transmitted across generations, and supported advances in law, science, and literature. Papyrus and Egyptian writing techniques also spread through trade and contact, influencing record-keeping, learning, and bureaucracy in neighboring civilizations.
