WILL MARK AS BRAINLIEST!!

Answer 1

The papyrus plant was very important to the ancient Egyptians. As Janice Kamrin of the Department of Egyption Art at the Metropolitan Museum of art once wrote,

"In ancient Egyptian cosmology, the world was created when the first god stood on a mound that emerged from limitless and undifferentiated darkness and water, a mythical echo of the moment each year when the land begins to reappear from beneath the annual floodwaters. Papyrus marshes were thus seen as fecund, fertile regions that contained the germs of creation. (2)"

The papyrus plant was a symbol of rebirth. From these “germs of creation,” the Egyptians extracted the material on which they could create and record for millennia. The papyrus plant needed fresh water or water-saturated earth to grow. Despite Egypt’s generally arid climate, these conditions were found in the marshes of the Nile Delta and in the “low-lying areas fringing the Nile Valley.” (2) The papyrus stalks were thin yet strong, topped by “feathery umbels ending in small brown fruit-bearing flowers.”

I hope this helps you ^_^

Answer 2

Egyptians would revolutionize the literary world by producing a smooth, flexible writing material that could accept and retain ink without a blur or smudge. This material, papyrus, would remain in use for longer than any other material in the history of written documents.By the 11th century, papermaking was brought to Europe.
European improvements to the papermaking process came in the 19th century with the invention of wood-based papers.Before the invention and current widespread adoption of automated machinery, all paper was made by hand.Paper made from other fibers, cotton being the most common, tends to be valued higher than wood-based paper.
