Papyrus was used from about 3000 BC, its most important use was as a writing medium. The art of Papyrus making was lost for many millennia. The age of these prints is in question. Papyrus making was not revived until around 1969. At that time, an Egyptian scientist named Dr. Hassan Ragab reintroduced the papyrus plant to Egypt from the Sudan and started a papyrus plantation near Cairo on Jacob Island. Egyptian papyrus paintings are beautiful hand painted pieces of art produced by the Egyptian artist who inherited this art from his ancestors.
