Keep the edge of the paper near the candle flame and let it burn until you get the shape you want, then completely blow the fire on the paper carefully, like shown in the photo.

Now write some ancient Egyptian language (or any other ancient language you like) on the paper using your black gel pen or sketch pen.

I copied the language from a picture I found on the net, you can also do the same.

So, your awesome Ancient Egyptian Manuscript is ready. Now you can put it on your wall and show it off to your friends. :)
