History

Egyptian Papyrus is the material that is made from the fibres of reeds that grow on the banks of The Nile River in Egypt.  It was manufactured as early as the first Egyptian dynasty, circa 3000.

Egyptian Papyrus used by the Egyptians until the 9th-11th centuries CE, that is, for 4000 years. Later on it found its way to other peoples that developed writing .After the secrets of manufacturing the 'ground' paper (from a selection of plants) were disclosed, paper gradually replaced papyrus for economic reasons. In Egypt, the manufacturing of papyrus continued till the end of the 11th century. Nowadays it is manufactured on a small scale, merely as a tourist attraction.

PROCESS

Egyptian papyrus manufacturing process, has not changed in thousands of years. The Papyrus product was made by tearing off the 'skin' of the papyrus reed. The strips thus formed were first beaten and dried in the sun and then were laid and crosswise to attain strength, perhaps with the aid of some glue (made of plants). Finally, the papyrus was stretched and smoothed to be fit for use.
