    Manuscripts refer to documents written by hand on materials like palm leaves or birch bark, while inscriptions are writings engraved on hard surfaces like stone or metal. Archaeologists study material remains from the past like tools, pottery, jewelry, and structures to learn about history. Historians are scholars who research and write about the past. Ordinary people did not often keep records because many could not write and did not understand the importance of recording events. Kings lived differently than farmers, with kings residing in palaces instead of small houses and focusing on protecting subjects rather than producing food.
