Books aren’t just inventions; they’re time machines. If you still prefer turning pages over swiping screens, you’re keeping history alive. 📚🔥

5️⃣ The Legacy Lives On From clay to calfskin, each stage of the book’s evolution reflects our desire to preserve ideas forever. Even today, a leather-bound book isn’t just nostalgia; it’s the final chapter in a 5,000-year love story between humans and words. ❤️📖

4️⃣ The Age of Leather & Parchment By the Middle Ages, books were handwritten on parchment or vellum, fine animal skin. Monks bound them in leather to protect sacred words from moisture and decay. These leather-bound volumes were treasures of faith and knowledge. 🕯️🐂

3️⃣ Enter the Codex, The First Real Book Around the 1st century CE, the Romans stitched folded pages into what we now call a codex. It was portable, stackable, and easy to navigate. The codex replaced scrolls and became the ancestor of every book you’ve ever held. 🕊️📚

2️⃣ The Scroll Revolution Then came papyrus, thin sheets made from the Nile’s papyrus plant. For the first time, words could flow. Scholars rolled up scrolls to read stories from end to end. But there was one problem: rewinding! You couldn’t just flip to chapter 5. 📜😂

1️⃣ The First ‘Pages’: Clay & Stone Long before paper, knowledge was carved, literally. Sumerians used clay tablets around 3000 BCE, writing with a reed stylus. Egyptians followed with hieroglyphs on temple walls. Each “page” weighed kilos! Reading wasn’t cozy; it was labor. 🪨📖

🧵 From Scrolls to Spines: The Evolution of the Book. Books weren’t always neat little rectangles on shelves. The story of how humans moved from stone carvings to leather-bound masterpieces is one of invention, beauty, and the eternal hunger to record thought. Let’s travel
