Since many Egyptians were illiterate, scribes were given the responsibility of reading and writing hieroglyphics. Scribes occupied a high position in Egyptian society due to their ability to read, write, and organize information. Throughout Egyptian history, this bureaucrat class would challenge palatial and priestly groups.
