		Papyrus is an early form of paper produced from the pith of the papyrus plant, Cyperus papyrus, a wetland sedge that was once abundant in the Nile Delta of Egypt.
		Papyrus is first known to have been used in ancient Egypt (at least as far back as the First dynasty), but it was also widely used throughout the Mediterranean region, as well as inland parts of Europe and south-west Asia.
		Papyrus is still much used by communities living in the vicinity of swamps for other reasons, to the extent that rural householders derive up to 75% of their income from swamp goods and are most important for the poorer sectors of society (Maclean et al.

		Papyrus is an early form of paper made from the pith of the Papyrus plant, Cyperus papyrus, a wetland sedge that grows to 5 meters (15 ft) in height and was once abundant in the Nile Delta of Egypt.
		Papyrus is first known to have been used in Ancient Egypt (at least as far back as the First dynasty), but it was also widely used throughout the Mediterranean region, as well as inland parts of Europe and south-west Asia.
		Papyrus scrolls were initially used (and remained so in Egypt), but during the first centuries BC and AD a rival medium was coming into use, parchment that was prepared from animal skins, folded to form quires from which book-form codices were fashioned.

		The Papyrus Harris, the largest extant ancient Egyptian papyrus, dates to early in the reign of Ramesses IV, the successor of Ramesses III.

		After removing the rind from several papyrus stems, cut to the required length, the inner pith was sliced into thin strips laid side by side, overlapping on a piece of cloth placed on a hard level surface.

		The Harris Papyrus, the most magnificent and complete of the Egyptian papyri, now in the British Museum is 133 ft. long, containing 117 columns.
		It was written by the son of Ramesses III, on the day of the King's death and details the donations of the Pharaoh during his 35-year rule.
		Thus we see from the Harris Papyrus how Ramesses III starts he rule with Egypt in ruins and in a very short time becomes the richest King of all.

		Hardly a hieratic papyrus exhumed along with the swathed mummy of King or Priest-Hierophant, or a weather-beaten, indecipherable inscription from the tormented sites of Babylonia or Ninevah, or an ancient tile-cylinder--that does not furnish new food for thought or some suggestive information to the student of Occultism.
		At this interesting place, the papyrus is again torn; and the reader left once more in ignorance of what resulted from the denunciation, and how the three boy-pretenders avoided the persecution of the paramount ruler.
		Finally, the Lepsius papyrus is an extremely ancient document, written in the old Egyptian tongue, while the events narrated therein may, for their originality (magic?), be placed on a par with the best Egyptian narratives translated and published by the famous Egyptologist and Archæologist, Mr.

		Some think the balance of evidence to be in favor of the former, whose reign it is known began peacefully, but came to a sudden and disastrous end.
		The "Harris papyrus," found at Medinet-Abou in Upper Egypt in 1856, a state document written by Rameses III., the second king of the Twentieth Dynasty, gives at length an account of a great exodus from Egypt, followed by wide-spread confusion and anarchy.
		This, there is great reason to believe, was the Hebrew exodus, with which the Nineteenth Dynasty of the Pharaohs came to an end.
