This is my final post and I will be summarising all of my research findings.
The subject I had chosen was the ancient world and I chose four different subjects to research. The four subjects I chose were, clay tablets as library materials, The Dead Sea Scrolls, the spread of the original alphabet and its adaptation by various peoples around the world and Papyrus scrolls as library materials. The were very interesting to research and I found many great materials about each of them.
Clay tablets as library materials
First I researched clay tablets as library materials and I found one website with a lot of information, a Youtube video that was quite interesting and a great picture of one of the tablets from the website. The last week I made a post with one item for each subject I chose. I found a book about the tables and the picture is of the book.

The Dead Sea Scrolls
The second topic I researched was The Dead Sea Scrolls, I found a great book about the scrolls, another Youtube video and a picture of one of the scrolls I found on Google. For the last week I found a website about the scrolls, the picture is also off the website.

The last subject I researched was the Papyrus scrolls, I found a few different Britannica references, a podcast which was interesting and a picture of one of the scrolls from the Britannica pages. For the last week I found a subject directory website, the picture is also from that website.

In conclusion, I thought this was an interesting project. I came across a few different obstacles but I think that I managed to find enough relevant items about each subject; you can really find anything on the Internet. I found using a search engine was the best way to find any source as it has so many return results. Hope you all enjoyed reading!
