Question

How did the production of paper influence the growth of Egyptian civilization

Answer 1

Ancient paper, which was made from papyrus reeds, was developed in 4000 B.C.E. It represented an alternative to stone tablets, chiseling rock and etching clay, since it could be folded and moved from one place to another.

It, combined with the development of the hieroglyphic writing system, helped Egypt become one of the superpowers of the ancient world, transforming the Egypician society and its culture.Through the use of papyrus, Egypcians wrote literary works, letters, financial records, prescriptions, judicial rulings, mathematical calculations and more.
