Papyrus was likely first manufactured on a large scale early in the fourth millennium B.C., though the oldest surviving papyrus sample dates farther back, to around 4500 B.C. Though the papyrus sheets and scrolls were most commonly used as a writing surface, the ancient Egyptians had many uses for papyrus. It was used to make sandals, hats, mattresses, baskets, ropes, and other household necessities.
Compared to the 26 letters of the English alphabet, there are over 700 different hieroglyph signs. Ancient Egyptians wrote on many of the same surfaces that the Sumerians did: clay, stone, bone, metal, and leather. They wrote most often, however, with reed pens on papyrus scrolls. The papyrus plant is a tall reed that grows in the marshy areas around the Nile River. The fibers from the center of its triangular stalk were separated into long, narrow strips, which were laid crosswise to each other and beaten together to form a uniform sheet. New papyrus sheets are thin, flexible, and translucent. The individual sheets were then glued together into long scrolls. The longest Egyptian scroll ever found measures over 133 feet, which is only 18 feet shorter than the Statue of Liberty, though most scrolls were much shorter. Long books were often divided into several scrolls.
