I always enjoy thinking about stuff like that. Imagining some cynic at the pyramid construction muttering about how nobody is gonna care about the pyramids in 500 years. “Buildings come and go. But papyrus? Now that’s permanent.”
Like imagining that dude in Pompeii who grabbed his junk as the ash buried him doing it as a bit. I’m 99% sure he did it because his reasoning was “ow my balls” but there’s the slightest chance he was like “lol people will think I was jacking off one last time.”
I would live to be an actor that only appears in period pieces to dismiss stuff thst will become historicallt significant.
Funnily enough, the oldest surviving examples of papyrus used for writing are roughly from the same time as the building of the great pyramids. So you can say it was a new fad then.
