Imagine that there is no paper in the world. This was the case thousands of years ago, till the ancient Egyptians invented the processing of Cyperous Papyrus marsh plant to papyrus sheets. Now you have the chance to feel the joy and happiness experienced by the ancient Egyptians when they found a way to send their text to somewhere else, because people were unable to mobilize the texts engraved on stones and rocks to any other place.
