The kouros type appears to have served several functions. It was previously thought that it was used only to represent the god Apollo, as attested by its depiction on a vase painting in the presence of supplicants. <span>This association with Apollo was supported by the description of the statue of the Pythian Apollo at Samos by Diodoros</span><span> as "Egyptian in style, with his arms hanging by his sides and his legs parted". However, not all kouroi are images of a deity; many have been discovered in cemeteries where they most likely served as commemorative tombstones of the deceased, also the type was used as a memorial for victors in the games (like trophies), kouroi were used as offerings to the gods, Pausanias describes the statue of </span>Arrhichion, an Olympic pankratiast, as in the kouros scheme),<span>and some kouroi have been found in sanctuaries other than that of Apollo.</span>
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.
