working with top quality authentic papyrus (imported from Egypt). Papyrus is a writing medium, invented by the Ancient Egyptians. They made it from a reed like plant that
grew in the marshes of the River Nile. It was used in the ancient civilizations of Egypt, Kush, Greece & Rome.
Egypt The main writing surface used by the Egyptians
was papyrus. It was invented very early on in Egypt’s history.The free lesson on papyrus found here explains the technique for manufacturing this writing medium. The papyrus for Egypt is the young pharaoh, Tutankhamen (Ankh also available). He was king for only a short time, approximately nine years but he has become one of the better known Pharaohs because of his death and burial. When his tomb was first discovered in 1922, the contents were almost intact. It gave the world a great deal of information about Ancient Egypt.
Greece The subject of papyrus on Ancient Greece is the Trojan Horse. The Trojan War was fought between two courageous and valiant groups of people, the Greeks and the Trojans. Their civilizations were different in many ways. The Trojans were an old and noble, patriarchal civilization. The Greeks, on the other hand, were people in charge of their own destiny to a far greater extent. The culmination of the conflict of these opposing forces resulted in the defeat of the old by the new. An example of Greek cunning and careful planning was the building of the Trojan horse and the Greek soldiers’ entry into the city of Troy.
Kush The illustration on the papyrus for Kush (titled Nubian Princess) is part of a much larger tomb painting. It shows Kushites delivering the annual taxes to the Egyptian pharaoh.
It is the time when Egypt was more powerful than the neighboring Kush, a situation that was to change around 1070 B.C.E.when Kush broke away from Egyptian dominance. (Nubian Princess can also be used for Egypt)
Rome
The papyrus for Rome is Map of Roman Empire. The design on the papyrus indicates the vast area ruled from Rome when the Empire was at its height around 117 C.E.
In the lessonWriting and Numerals students learn how papyrus was one of the many writing mediums used by the Romans.
