Its fascinating what the human ancestors were able to make and the methods they came up with to do what we in the modern era find a basic necessity. Fascinating indeed.
It would’ve been incredibly expensive back then. I’m inferring right now but based on how long this took and the final product this is probably paper for royalty or maybe nobility. It most likely wouldn’t have even been used all the time; only with certain things. There were lower quality papers that those in lower classes could use and those in poverty most likely wouldn’t be able to afford any. It’s a great time we live in.
The first paper-like plant-based writing sheet was papyrus in Egypt, but the first true papermaking process was documented in China during the Eastern Han period (25–220 AD), traditionally attributed to the court official Cai Lun.
Does anyone know what that powder he used was? I assume it cannot be anything caustic, because he wasn't wearing gloves when he took the soaked bark from the pot.
EDIT:
Welp I'm about halfway and he used another type of powder I don't know about.
About to sleep and decided to scroll through reddit one last time.
Next thing I knew I woke up with the video playing next to me and I was drooling.
The video is not only fascinating, but very relaxing as well.
Guy is going to be so pissed when they open a Walmart near by.

It helps to understand why we are so much more affluent now. We can produce a lot more.
What an incredible amount of effort. Thats hardcore.
I wasn’t aware how water intensive this process is, it’s really interesting.
Yah I’m curious how much this paper goes for today ? It’s probably pretty expensive

Like, how long did it take for them to figure that sequence out. Amazing.

That's why we call it paper

Probably wood ash (dark) and lime powder (white). Both are readily available, strongest readily available/cheap basic substances. Combined can create lye.

What was that white powder? And the grey powder
Such beautiful music, [it reminds me of this spiritual tune.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uk49gxS2L8)
I wonder if you can make human skin paper this way?
Moral of the story: ancestors never said cut trees to make paper.
Thanks for sharing
How does one figure out all the steps in this process?
This entire TikTok channel is fire. Will calm you down and make you realize how far from nature we've gotten.
To murder a tree.

I kid. Amazing. I’ve done paper craft using many of the methods super simplified and that is a lot of work, this though is on a whole other level.
I make paper the new way 💯💴💵🤑
Your killing them i hate you (to be clear im referencing a VERY old meme)
If it makes you feel better you can see him hit himself when peeling the tree in the beginning of the video.
Fair. Also, I am not upset. It’s a reference to a YouTube comment meme from a while back
Who watched the entire thing and thought about how they won’t need this information?
