If you asked anyone in Thebes who the worst scribe in all of Egypt was, they would all agree — Menes, son of Hapu, took that honor like a champion.

His handwriting looked like a drunk scarab had wandered across the papyrus. His hieroglyphs were so crooked that even the gods would’ve had trouble translating them.
