what time period was paper invented
Early Chinese Paper. Since the invention of writing, people had been trying to come up with something easier to write on than papyrus or parchment, and also something easier and cheaper to make. But it took 3000 years to come up with paper! Paper was invented around 100 BC in China.In 105 AD, under the Han Dynasty emperor Ho-Ti, a government official in China named Ts'ai Lun was the first to start a paper-making industry.This rag paper was still much more expensive than modern paper, which is made from wood with chemicals added). By this time, people in the country of the Aztecs (modern Mexico) had also, independently, invented paper.
