The document summarizes the history and development of paper and pens. It traces the origins of paper to ancient China in the 2nd century BC and of pens to reed pens invented by ancient Egyptians in 4000 BC. Timelines show the evolution of pens from reed pens to modern ballpoint pens and of paper from papyrus to modern paper. The document also provides brief facts and comparisons of the properties and uses of different paper and pen types over history.

3. Paper was invented by the ancient
Chinese in the second century BC during
the Han dynasty when the Chinese were
inventing silk. By the tenth century the
way of making paper spread to Italy and
soon the south of Germany. People still
used the old papyrus and parchment.

4. the first pen was invented by Egyptians.
The first pen was called the reed pen. It
was made in 4,000 BC, followed by the
quill pen, fountain pens, the ballpoint
pen, and the modern ballpoint pen.
They made the reed pen because they
needed something to write with.

writing, that they scribed into thin sheets of
wax (on wooden tablets). Romans used a
metal stylus. When they no longer needed
the writing, they rubbed it out with the flat
end of the stylus.

9. As well as writing on parchment, the anglo-
saxons also used tablets filled with wax for
notes and for planning the layout of large
books. They wrote on the tables with the
metal or bone stylus, that had a pointed
end and rubbed out the words with that
flat end.

parchment with a quill pen altered the style
of their writing. At first, they used capital
letters all the time, but later they
developed faster styles with small letters.
