One of the most known technology discovered during the ancient period was paper.

As we evolved,
we wrote everything on anything to solidify our ideas and observations. Before paper existed, people wrote
their thoughts on cave walls, stone tablets, leaves, tree trunks and on the dirt floor. But since all those
choices were either too heavy, not portable and easily broken, those means were used because those
were the present choices even if it didn't really made life easier.

Civilizations flourished in political, social, economic and religious aspects. Egypt had their religion
and politics. They wrote about their gods and the pharaohs achievements so they can be remembered.
First, they wrote on stone walls and tablets. But Egypt was surrounded by a plant called cyperus papyrus.
With that plant they intertwined and pressed it to a material they can write on called papyrus.

Papyrus allowed people to write on something more efficient, storable and portable. Data from
different aspects of life had means to be solidified and kept. Papyrus became the precursor to a more
improved paper China produces. With papyrus, the paper we now see used for educational, political,
economic, social, religious and personal use exists. Books, paper money and important documents are in
paper.
