Do You Know #1

The English word "paper", originates from the word "papyrus", an Egyptian word that actually means "that which belongs to the house" (the bureaucracy of ancient Egypt).

The ancient Egyptians discovered the need for a writing material other than stone to transcribe upon. They found this in their papyrus plant, a triangular reed which grows in the Nile's fresh water. Papyrus was thin, strong, durable and easy to carry. For thousands of years, there was nothing better for the purpose of writing.

Besides its use for producing a medium for writing purposes, papyrus was also used for building chairs, tables, and other furniture as well as for mats, baskets, sandals, etc. And the papyrus root was used as a source of food, medicine and perfume.
