Ancient Egyptians used the papyrus reed to make boats. Bundles of papyrus were tied together to form a kind of canoe like raft. Other uses of papyrus were for parchment, basket weaving and cloth making. Papyrus grows commonly along the banks of the Nile River, and is considered a 'Gift of the Nile'.
