'''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]].  It helped transform the Egyptian society in many ways.  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.
