Summary

Since humans began to adopt writing systems, they also created systems for passing along written messages.  For thousands of years, it would have been possible to get messages to distant parts of whatever empire or kingdom you happened to live in, provided you found the right courier and had enough money.  Today, the entire globe is integrated into a connected postal system, allowing physical messages to be sent between almost any two people. Learn more about postal deliveries and how our modern system has ancient roots on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
