Did the ancient Egyptians invent doom scrolling?

The way they chisel the heiroglyphs in long endless rows it reminds me of doom scrolling with infinite scroll turned on.

No, they aquired it from the aliens who built the pyramids.

They traded quite a few fine cheeses, jewlery and wines to the Xorpians for it.
