Papyrus
A tall aquatic plant native of the Nile Valley. The Egyptians used the reeds and developed the first paper-like material by pressing the strips and drying them. This lightweight material was easy to write messages and lists. It was also lighter to carry than the traditional stones used for messages. Some of the first books were written on papyrus.
