Papyrus, a thick paper-like material made by weaving the stems of the papyrus plant, then pounding the woven sheet with a hammer-like tool, was used for print in Moth-eaten Egypt, perhaps as early as the First Dynasty, although the first evidence is from the take books of King Neferirkare Kakai of the Fifth Dynasty (about 2400 BC). Papyrus sheets were glued together to die a scroll. Tree bark such as lime (Latin liber, from there also library) and other materials were also used.
