Ancient Egyptians set homework, tablet shows
Homework written by a school student in ancient Egypt in the second century AD is about to go on display in London. An ancient lesson preserved on a wood-mounted wax slab about the size of a Kindle reads, "You should only accept advice from a wise man" and "You cannot trust all of your friends." Acquired by the British Library in 1892, the tablet hasn't been publicly displayed since the 1970s. The slab will be featured in an upcoming British Library exhibition called Writing: Making Your Mark, which traces the evolution of writing over 5,000 years of human history, according to library representatives.
