Egyptian Papyrus Paper
Papyrus is the oldest writing material that is in existence today,
dating back at least 5,000 years. In fact, the very word "paper" is derived
from its name. These light-colored sheets are formed by laying thin strips
of plant stalk in horizontal and vertical (crosswise) layers. They have
better mechanical strength than many modern papers of the same weight. Use
them for any kind of writing, drawing, or painting.
