What is papyrus paper made of? - TimesMojo

Hunter’s spotlight plant today: the ancient Papyrus, a reed once used to make “paper” back in Egypt! 🌿 Did you know the Egyptian process involved cutting the inner stem of the papyrus plant into thin strips, laying them in criss-cross layers, pressing & drying them into sheets?  These sheets became the world’s first writing surface, used since around 3000 BC.  Next time you admire your plants, remember: one of them helped shape the story of humans writing history. ✨ #PlantFacts #HouseplantLov
