It is often claimed that Egyptians referred to papyrus as pa-per-aa, literary meaning, that which is of Pharaoh, apparently indicating that the Egyptian crown owned a monopoly on papyrus production, though no actual ancient text using this term is known. Papyrus was very important to the ancient Egyptians as it helped transform Egyptian society in many ways. Once the technology of papyrus making was developed, its method of production was a closely guarded secret allowing the Egyptians to have a monopoly on it as it became the lifeblood for ancient Egypt. It was even exported to many locations in the ancient world. The raw material of papyrus paper comes from the plant Cyprus papyrus, a long stemmed plant that grows in damp regions of the Nile Delta in Egypt.

About El Cairo

El Cairo, la extensa capital de Egipto junto al Nilo, donde las pirámides de Guiza se unen a mezquitas medievales, bazares y tesoros faraónicos.

En el borde occidental de la ciudad, las pirámides de Guiza y la Gran Esfinge se alzan sobre la meseta desértica, con la pirámide escalonada de Saqqara y las ruinas de Menfis más al sur. Los grandes museos de El Cairo, el Museo Egipcio de la plaza Tahrir y el enorme Gran Museo Egipcio junto a la meseta, guardan piezas que abarcan miles de años.
