In Ancient Egypt, around 2900 B.C. there were several problems being created as the result of conflict of what to write on. They needed something to be easily transported while at the same time, easily written on. At first, they started with cave writing with rocks, the problem with this is it wasn't structurally strong enough to keep writing on for a long period of time. For this reason, they searched for a better, longer lasting material that could keep writing on it and would not rip as easily.

After the outburst of cravenness of a item that could fill out all of these check boxes. Egyptians went out and found a plant that they thought could work. They found a plant called the Cyprus Plant. The Cyprus Plant was not only easily moved but also could keep information and writing on it for centuries. In fact, archaeologists have found this ancient papyrus and, even after several centuries, it was still intact with understandable writing on it.  The only thing they needed to do was find a way to convert the big leaves of the plant into the much more slim version of paper.
