Paper was first invented in ancient Egypt around 2900 B.C. from the flattened and dried husks of the Papyrus plant. The word "paper" comes from the Greek word for the same plant. The paper-making process of turning tree pulp into sheets of paper was created independently in China around 100 A.D. by a man named Ts'ai Lun, who ground bamboo fibers into woven cloth and dried the pulp.
