Everything you want to know about the papyrus plant or papyrus in a very simplified way is present in this article. There is a lot of talk about papyrus or papyrus plants and about papyrus rolls, of which there are very large numbers in the world, especially those dating back to the ancient Egyptian civilization, where ancient Egypt was famous for its manufacture. Papyrus, and there are still large numbers of it today in various Egyptian museums, especially the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir. Let’s find out what the papyrus plant is first, then learn about how and how it is made and the different stages it goes through, in some detail in this article, God Almighty willing ✨♥️

: The papyrus plant had an important role in ancient Egyptian civilization, as the papyrus plant has been present in Egypt since ancient times, but the great importance comes in the fact that one of the ancient Egyptians invented paper to write on from this plant, but unfortunately history did not immortalize its name for us, but before starting to Knowing how this paper is made and its importance must be known in many ancient Egyptian industries, such as: 🤔

1- It was extracted from its roots as food for the poor and it was called (popular food). 2- The rest of the parts were used to make baskets, boxes, and some shoes. 3- Some small and medium boats were made for fishing and other uses of this plant. 4- Ropes were also made from this plant. 5- Its great importance comes in making writing paper, and this was the secret of this plant’s fame in ancient and modern times.

: Egypt was the only country that knew how to make papyrus paper for many centuries, and no other country was able to know how to make this paper, and ancient Egyptian history did not immortalize for us the method of making this paper, as one of the ancient Egyptian secrets, such as mummification, was limited to a specific sect. At that time, it was passed down from generation to generation.

: In the year 105 AD, a Chinese man called (Zi Lun) was able to manufacture paper that was light and easy to write, other than papyrus, which led to a decline in the importance of papyrus for the first time in history. Then the papyrus plant was exposed to great destruction and neglect due to the tribes that migrated to Egypt, especially after the conquest. Islamic rule in Egypt in the year 641 AD, when many areas where the sedge plant was present were removed and turned into residential areas for these tribes, and for other reasons, such as the lack of interest in sedge plants, which led to a significant decrease in the area of ​​the existing plant. From the eighth century until the eighteenth century, it was forgotten. Papyrus paper or papyrus plant is no longer important in Egypt 👇

Its importance was restored again with the advent of the French campaign against Egypt led by Napoleon Bonaparte and the discovery of some papyrus scrolls and their exit to Europe, bringing interest again to girls or papyrus again ♥️

: Then credit comes to God Almighty, then Dr. Rajab Hassan, who covered his doctoral thesis on the papyrus plant and its industry. Then Dr. Rajab Hassan conducted studies for five years on the papyrus plant and discovered the closest method for manufacturing papyrus paper, such as the one that the ancient Egyptian used to make papyrus paper. .

is: 👌

Only the middle part of the leg is used, then this part is peeled, then the inner part is made in the form of thin slices in thickness, then it is placed in water for a certain period, then it is placed from right to left and vice versa, then it is dried and something heavy is placed on it and left until it dries. It becomes solid and in the final known form and is ready to be written on. Dr. Ragab Hassan created papyrus commercially in the seventies of the last century, and it began to be in great demand, especially from tourists, and it became closely linked to tourism in Egypt.
