In what form did the memory of the past begin to be kept with the advent of writing?

In the old days people carved the memory of great events on stones – these are drawings, signs. With the advent of writing, the question arose, what to write on?
At first, they wrote on bamboo and bone tablets, but it was long and difficult. And it was difficult to store all this, since such plates took up a lot of space. But one day the ancient Egyptians found a magnificent material – papyrus.
Over time, papyrus became scarce, and then an unusual material was invented, parchment. Even before the invention of paper, the Chinese also wrote on parchment. And then it was they who came up with the principle of the invention of real paper. The Chinese kept the secret of papermaking for seven centuries. And only during the assault
In Samarkand, the Arabs captured Chinese prisoners, and they then told this secret. Through Spain, the recipe for paper production became known to other countries. Since then, we have been using paper to write any texts.
