Papyrus
Papyrus is a kind of paper that the Ancient Egypt & Modern Nubians used for writing. It was made from a kind of reed called cyperus papyrus.[1]
Papyrus plants grow 2-3m (5–9 ft) tall. They were first used in Ancient Egypt, but they were also used throughout the Mediterranean region. The Egyptians also used the papyrus plants to make boats, mattresses, mats, rope, sandals, and baskets.
