Papyrus• Papyrus is a thick
paper-like material produced from the pith of the papyrus plant, once abundant in the Nile Delta of Egypt. Papyrus is first known to have been used in ancient Egypt. Ancient Egyptians used this plant as a writing material and for boats, mattresses, mats, rope, sandals, and baskets.
• Japanese are credited with invention of paper
