Papyrus, from which we get the modern word

paper, is a writing material made from the
papyrus plant, a reed which grows in the
marshy areas around the Nile river. Papyrus
was used as a writing material as early as 3,000
BC in ancient Egypt, and continued to be used
to some extent until around 1100 AD.

Cai Lun/ Ts’ai Lun - a Chinese

scholar and government official made
paper out of tree bark and scraps of linen
and hemp. Even though archaeological
evidence shows that paper may have been
made even a little earlier, Ts'ai Lun was the
first to have his efforts recorded. Like
many inventors through the centuries, he
built upon the work of others. Because he
documented his invention, Ts'ai Lun is
generally known as the man who
"invented" paper.

the plant from which it was derived, Cyperus
papyrus (family Cyperaceae), also called paper plant.
