سؤال

Question: how could the Egyptians manufacture the papyrus paper

المصريين : إستطاع كيفبدال عليه للكتابة البردى ورق صنع

الحجر علي الحفر من

سؤال

The answerوالجواب The first use of papyrus paper is believed to have

been 4000 BC. The raw material of papyrus paper comes from the plant Cyperus papyrus. This plant

grew along the banks of the Nile and provided the Egyptians with the necessary raw materials. This

plant was quite versatile and was not only used in the production of paper but it was also used in the manufacture of boats, rope and baskets. The papyrus

plant disappeared from the area of the Nile, where it was once the lifeblood for ancient Egypt. Papyrus making was

not revived until around 1969. An Egyptian scientist reintroduced the papyrus plant to Egypt and started a

papyrus plantation near Cairo, and now papyrus making is back in Egypt after a very long absence.

The Method of Papyrus Paper Production The stalks of the papyrus plant are harvested.

Next the green skin of the stalk is removed and the inner pith is taken out and cut into long strips. The strips

are then pounded and soaked in water for 3 days until pliable.

The strips are then cut to the length desired and laid horizontally on a cotton sheet overlapping about 1 millimeter. Other strips are laid vertically over the

horizontal strips resulting in the criss-cross pattern in papyrus paper. Another cotton sheet is placed on top.

The sheet is put in a press and squeezed together, with the cotton sheets being replaced until all the moisture is

removed. Finally, all the strips are pressed together forming a

single sheet of papyrus paper

Question: what is the relation between the Coptic and old

Egyptian crosses

بين : العالقة هي ماوالصليب القبطي الصليب

القديم المصرى

سؤال

The answerوالجواب

The horizontal and vertical bars of the lower tau cross represent the feminine and masculine energy,

respectively. This combination of male and female symbols (the cross and circle) in the ankh suggest fertility and creative power. The top loop also symbolises the sun

on the horizon, and suggests reincarnation and rebirth.The ankh appears frequently in Egyptian writings about

rebirth, and this symbolism was adopted by Coptic Christians, to symbolize the resurrection of Christ and the

heavenly marriage.

The ankh is an ancient Egyptian symbol of life. Also known as an Ansata cross, it is called

a key of Life or key of the Nile
