    Latin Greek Papyrus Ancient Egypt Mediterranean Writing

    Uploaded by

    The word paper comes from the Latin word "papyrus" which refers to the papyrus plant. Papyrus was used in ancient Egypt and other cultures as a thick, paper-like material made from the pith of the papyrus plant for writing before paper was introduced. Although paper derives its name from papyrus, they are produced very differently - papyrus is a lamination of natural plant fibers while paper is made from fibers that have been processed through maceration.
