Answer Question

    I would say so the couriers did not have to carry big stone tablets 25 miles  when the king wanted to send a message.....or so the court transcriber didn't have to wear out his arm chiseling the words into stone so when he made a mistake he wouldn't have to chisel it out and start all over.DOH!....basically i would say it was out of necessity being the mother of invention...work smarter not harder thinking....to take the place of printing,since you didn't say that it was continuous writing or writing as in telling a story....at least thats my two cents
