Papyrus was an Egyptian paper, made of certain reeds found on the sides of the Nile. Later, they also used parchment, animal skins treated to make them pliable and usuable as a writing surface.
Paper was developed in China by 105 AD and then spread to Japan and Korea by 610 AD. The first paper mill was in Baghdad and it produced paper made from hemp, flax, and pure water. From there it was introduced to Egypt and by the end of the 10th century paper had replaced parchment and papyrus in the Arab world. Marco Polo saw paper production in China, but it will take it another 500 years to reach Europe.
