OK let's test your general knowledge.

Ironically, more is known about some of the pre-Egyptian civilizations than about the early Egyptian civililizations. This is said to have happered because of an invention by early Egyptians. What could they have invented that has deprived modern people of their storied past?
C'mon all of you dead nfmers who were so glad to see the forums back, wake up and have a shot at this one :D

Here is the answer:

The invention was Papyrus, the forerunner of paper, which unfortunately rots with age. The earlier civilizations kept their records on stone tablets, which for the most part have survived the ages.
