Paper's Journey Through Time
konyakagit

In 4000 BC, the ancient Egyptians discovered the first paper-like material (papyrus). Paper as we know it today was invented by the Chinese Ts'ai Lun in 105 AD. The invention of paper made the Chinese the most advanced culture at that time.

Until the 1700s, paper was made from old rags and scraps of cloth. In the early 1700s, French Rene Antoine Ferchault de Reaumur suggested that paper in the sense we use today could be manufactured from wood as well.

When the French scientist saw a wasp hive while walking in the forest and realized that the hive was made of paper, he began to study the bees. Wasps gnaw twigs and rotten logs into their mouths, mixing them with gastric juices and saliva and using them to build their hives. By studying the digestive system of bees, Reaumur discovered the chemicals used to make paper, and presented his invention to the French Royal Academy in 1719.
