Papyrus is a writing medium, invented by the Ancient Egyptians. They made it from a reed like plant that grew in the marshes of the River Nile. It was used in the ancient civilizations of Egypt, Kush, Greece & Rome.

Egypt
The main writing surface used by the Egyptians was papyrus. It was invented very early on in Egypt’s history.The free lesson on papyrus explains the technique for manufacturing this writing medium. The papyrus for Egypt is the young pharaoh, Tutankhamen. He was king for only a short time, approximately nine years but he has become one of the better known Pharaohs because of his death and burial. When his tomb was first discovered in 1922, the contents were almost intact. It gave the world a great deal of information about Ancient Egypt.

Rome
The papyrus for Rome is Map of Roman Empire. The design on the papyrus indicates the vast area ruled from Rome when the Empire was at its height around 117 C.E. In the lesson Writing and Numerals students learn how papyrus was one of the many writing mediums used by the Romans.
