Answer: Papyrus

Explanation:

This is a very simplified version, But the Egyptians made a thick paper called papyrus, from the papyrus plant. They cut the stems of the plant into thin strips, and laid it atop one another at right angles into multiple layers. They wettened the papyrus sheet and then beat it flat while it is still moist.

The Ancient Egyptians did not make paper, indeed paper which was invented in China did not reach the Middle East until after the battle of Tallas in 751ce. The Arabs then moved the captured Chinese papermakers to Samarkand, then the idea spread to Baghdad where Arabic papermaking started, and it is this product- charta Damasura- sold to the west that monks mistook for a new type of papyrus, and called it paper.

Arabic paper making did occur in Egypt, but by this time it had spread to other parts of the Islamic world including Xavier in Spain (1160) and Fabriano in Italy (1180) which were captured by the Christians. Egyptian paper was made from old linen rags, sealed with boiled-up bone glue and occasionally from recycled mummies. It's darker and thicker than the fine Syrian papers or the exquisite Persian tissue-thin polished paper, but not as rough as some of the later Turkish papers. Because the paper was polished with a fine gum arabic coating or gum taragarth, it is easy to repair, as delicate sheets from manuscripts can be split down the middle and gossamer-thin Japanese repair tissue inserted inside to invisibility re-attach the leaf to a binding. The largest problem is storage conditions in the Middle East where many more species of anorexia (carpet beetles) are active and fond of consuming this material, and the unfortunate use of an unstable copper underpainting in gold illumination within some Arabic works.

the finest collection of papers was a set of recycled papers not destroyed by Jewish scribes in Cairo because the paper had the name god written on it. The Khalidi Library in the old city of Jerusalem has 1500 paper manuscripts, with about 400 on Egyptian paper. They also have the oldest wire mark (watermark) paper I have ever discovered, a 10-century Charta Gamasutra CD used for a stunning manuscript about botany in the Golan Heights.

Slavery provided virtually free labor in the south, but for what?
inessss [21]

Slavery provided virtually free labor in the south, but for "agricultural products such as cotton, tobacco, and sugar cane".

<u>Explanation:</u>

The method of cultivation (agriculture) grew in South America when British colonist colonized in Virginia. They separated the territory with wide area to best utilise for farming. This was the reason that their prosperity depended on production of crops, created the slavery due to requirement of agricultural workers. Such plantations yielded significant colony-traded crops, like cotton and tobacco.

The plantation was like one small family-owned town. But the inadequate nutrition, unhealthy living environments and forced labour made slaves more vulnerable than their landlords; disease-related death rates among the slaves were dramatically higher.

In what way was Spartan government like an oligarchy?
viktelen [127]

The Spartan Government acted like oligarchy because there was a Spartan council.

The oligarchy is a form of government where certain people controlled power . The citizens had little or no say at all at the decision of the government .

Sparta gave very much importance to military discipline and acted almost like an army state.

The oligarchy of Sparta was quite successful and it became one of the most famous and well disciplined states in the whole ancient world.  

Due to the oligarchy there were certain positive points also because unlike it's twin city state Athens , the Spartan women almost enjoyed the same rights with men.

scoundrel [369]
The correct answer is limited government intervention in the economy. Proponents of this quote believed in capitalism and entrepreneurship as vital in creating prosperity. As a result, they were opposed to government intervening to control business for instance to promote equality.
