History of Writing and Pens

The first pens

The first people to use the pen were, in all probability, the ancient Egyptians. They used reed pens to write on papyrus and thus the hieroglyphic form of writing was developed. At around the same time the Egyptians were using the reed pens, the quill pen was being used for writing the Dead Sea Scrolls and these were used till the 19th century.

Pens today

The reed pens as well as the quill pens are no longer used for writing. They went out along with the nib pen that had been a contemporary of the reed and the quill and which had been used in parts of Asia (China and India). Today there is a wide variety of pens and other writing instruments available in the world and you can choose among:

• Fountain pens
• Ballpoint pens
• Roller ball pens
• Felt tip pens

Choose the one that suits your personality and express yourself.
