Greeks
A couple thousand years after
The Great Pyramid of Giza,
the Greeks were busy working with stone to create great structures, such as the
Parthenon (432 BC).
The Greeks, of course, also had writing, which they put on great buildings.
Additionally, they put writing on clay or other tablets that contained stories or
civic facts/edicts.
The prosperous Greeks erected monuments to themselves, their victories and their gods.
These stone monuments combined art with praiseful writing.
