The history of mail is closely connected with writing history. With origin of the last information began to be transferred in writing that has laid the foundation for a mail service. In the beginning such communication was incidental. With emergence of the slaveholding states in the Ancient East which governors needed constant information on situation in own country and in territories subject to them the mail service began to gain the ordered character.
The first institutions of the ordered service of messages have arisen early enough in antique times. For the first time the post message has appeared in Mesopotamia for the information transfer imprinted in the form of the clay letter about 5000 years ago. Not less ancient is the mail service in Egypt.
Originally similar services were used generally in the military purposes and didn't intend for communication between civilians. Services of messages in Ancient Egypt, Assyria, Babylon and Persia were those. Especially developed they were in Egypt and can be considered by predecessors of modern mail. At the time of the IV dynasty of Pharaohs (2900 2700 BC) the service of special pedestrian (fast walkers), and also horse messengers worked, providing communication on military roads with Libya, Ethiopia and Arabia.
Ancient Egyptian mail has been based mainly on use of numerous pedestrian messengers thanks to whom Pharaohs could make contacts with remote provinces without special difficulties. In Beni Hassan on a wall-painting of one of the caves tombs relating to an era of the Average kingdom the messenger reporting to the official the message on invasion of the enemy tribe is represented. It is known of the professional messengers existing in Egypt during an era of the XII dynasty (1985 1785 BC) who carried imperial orders up to Asia. Messengers had to overcome long distances as soon as possible. Also applied carrier pigeons to transportation of letters.
