'''Papyrus''' was one of the earliest types of [[paper]] invented.  (The word ''paper'' derives from the word ''papyrus.'') It was very important to the ancient [[Egypt|Egyptians]] and helped transform the Egyptian society in many ways.{{fact}} The earliest pieces of papyrus were made from mummy wrappings, but later papyri were made out of reeds from the [[Nile]] river, enabling the Egyptians to produce them in much larger quantities. Once the technology of papyrus making was formed, the method of production was kept a secret, allowing Egypt to have a [[monopoly]] on it. The first use of papyrus is believed to be around 4000 B.C.
