How were books drawn before the invention of paper?
Answers
Explanation:
Remember, people were writing long before paper was invented. From clay tablets to papyrus, linen, animal skins, metals, tree bark and other materials, mankind used a variety of materials to keep track of time, goods, and other information worth remembering.
Paper is the most quintessential example of the world's greatest inventions. We use it to write and print on, cover our walls, clean ourselves and filter our coffee, among other things. The history of paper is a fascinating story, well worth the telling.
Most scholars cite the invention of paper as occurring in AD 105 when an eunuch in the Han court named Cai Lun created a papermaking process that was reported to the Chinese Emperor by Ts'ai Lun, an official of the Imperial Court, although recent archaeological evidence points to the invention of papermaking occurring 200 years earlier in Dunhuang in China's northwest Gansu province
