Well, honey, the ancient Egyptians were the ones who first came up with the idea of writing on papyrus around 3000 BCE. But if you're talking about paper as we know it today, that credit goes to the Chinese during the Han Dynasty around 200 BCE. So, there you have it, two civilizations with their own claim to fame in the world of writing and paper.
