It was made by Ancient Egyptians from papyrus plant. The amazing part about papyrus paper is that it's very strong, durable, elastic and is made naturally. ... Because he documented his invention, Ts'ai Lun is generally known as the man who "invented" paper. The art of papermaking was kept a secret in China for centuries.

It is said on this day in 105 AD, the eunuch Ts'ai Lun first presented the Chinese Han Dynasty Emperor Han Ho Ti with samples of paper. Chinese historical records suggest that Ts'ai Lun himself invented paper, however, recent archaeological finds suggest that it had been invented 200 years earlier.

The word "paper" is etymologically derived from papyrus, Ancient Greek for the Cyperus papyrus plant. Papyrus is a thick, paper-like material produced from the pith of the Cyperus papyrus plant which was used in ancient Egypt and other Mediterranean societies for writing long before paper was used in China.[1]

Papyrus is prepared by cutting off thin ribbon-like strips of the interior of the Cyperus papyrus, and then laying out the strips side-by-side to make a sheet. A second layer is then placed on top, with the strips running at right angle to the first. The two layers are then pounded together into a sheet. The result is very strong, but has an uneven surface, especially at the edges of the strips. When used in scrolls, repeated rolling and unrolling causes the strips to come apart again, typically along vertical lines. This effect can be seen in many ancient papyrus documents.
