从前,在埃及的河畔和沼泽地带,盛长着一种水草,人们把它叫做“纸草”。埃及人用这种水草造纸,来记载事物。用这种水草造出的纸被称为“纸草纸”。最初纸草书是在埃及古都底比斯的废墟中发现的,1858年由兰德购买并修补完善,后来赠送给了伦敦大英博物馆。所以,这本书被叫做《兰德纸草书》。根据译文人们知道,这部纸草书的著者是公元前1650年左右埃 Once upon a time, there was a kind of aquatic plants in the rivers and marshes of Egypt, which people call “paper grass.” The Egyptians made paper with this kind of aquatic plants to record things. Paper made from this type of aquatic plant is called “papyrus”. Initially found in the ruins of the ancient capital of Thebes in Egypt, it was purchased and replenished by Rand in 1858 and later presented to the British Museum in London. So, this book is called “Rand Paper Cursive Book.” According to the translation, people know that the author of this papyrus is around 1650 BC
