おすすめする理由と説明

Papyrus was the very first paper-like material, invented by the ancient Egyptians around 3500 BC. It was made from the papyrus plant, which grew abundantly along the Nile River.

For centuries, papyrus was the primary writing surface for the Egyptians, used to record everything from religious texts and official documents to personal letters and stories.

Owning a piece of papyrus connects you directly to this ancient civilization and its rich history. It's a tangible reminder of the ingenuity and creativity of the Egyptians, who laid the foundation for modern writing and communication.
