Two-toned cream and black paper over boards with gilt lettering along the spine. 356 Pages, A thought-provoking history of papyrus paper--from its origins in Egypt to its spread throughout the world--revealing how it helped usher in a new era of human history. Throughout our entire history, humans have always searched for new ways to share information. This innate compulsion led to the origin of writing on the rock walls of caves and coffin lids or carving on tablets. But it was with the advent of papyrus paper when the ability to record and transmit information exploded, allowing for an exchanging of ideas from the banks of the Nile throughout the Mediterranean--and the civilized world--for the first time in human history. In The Pharaoh's Treasure, John Gaudet looks at this pivotal transition to papyrus paper, which would become the most commonly used information medium in the world for more than 4,000 years.
