messages over a long distance. They used
the light of fires at night and the smoke of
fires by day. They used the loud sound of
drums to send messages across the great
forests of Africa. These means of long
distance communication were used for
centuries

Paper came from China, in the second
century BC. The oldest piece of paper in the
world is made from hemp. The
archaeologists found it in a tomb near Xian,
in China. They think the Chinese made it
between 140 and 87 BC.
