Carter pulled out several lengths of brown twine, a small ebony cat statue, and a thick roll of paper. no, not paper. papyrus. i remember dad explaining how the egyptians made it from a river plant because they never invented paper. the stuff was so thick and rough, it made me wonder if the poor egyptians had had to use toilet papyrus. if so, no wonder they walked sideways.
