Scribe School

Saturday, March 8, at 1:30 p.m.

The Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum invites all aspiring poets, tax collectors, and tomb painters to enroll in Scribe School!

Scribes worked tirelessly to record every detail of ancient life. Starting at a young age, scribes would begin the process of learning over 700 unique hieroglyphic characters, as well as the hieratic and demotic forms of the Egyptian written language. Once fully trained, a scribe could expect to join an elite class of scholars in charge of documenting and running the Ancient Egyptian civilization.

If you feel yourself drawn to the literary life and aspire for greatness, enroll in Scribe School at the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum. Scribes will be given basic instruction in writing in Hieroglyphics, correct posture and form, and will then create their own personal cartouche.

Admission is free with paid entry to the museum.
