Frequently asked
What was papyrus made from in ancient Egypt?
Papyrus was made from the papyrus plant that grew wild along the Nile River. Egyptians cut the stem into strips, layered them crosswise, then pressed and dried them to create sheets. This process created a writing surface stronger than modern paper.
How long could ancient Egyptian papyrus scrolls be?
Some papyrus scrolls were incredibly long! The longest surviving scroll, the Great Harris Papyrus, measures 133 feet long. Most everyday scrolls were around 10-20 feet, but religious and official documents could stretch across entire rooms when unrolled.
