Papyrus is a thin paper-like material made from the pith of the papyrus plant which grew abundantly along the Nile Delta of Egypt. Papyrus was first manufactured in Egypt and Southern Sudan as far back as the fourth millennium BCE.

The use of papyrus as a writing material goes back to extreme antiquity. The oldest written papyrus known to be in existence is, according to Kenyon (The Paleography of Greek Papyri, Oxford, 1899), an account-sheet belonging to the reign of the Egyptian king Assa, which is conjecturally dated circa 2600 B.C.
