Papyrus

Papyrus grows well in the Nile in Shabbat Ab.

How To Grow Papyrus

  • Start at the bridge by the UArt.
  • Plant 1 papyrus sheaf every 10 coords running north along the west bank. Do this for 100 coords (10 sheaves).
  • Wait 10 minutes.
  • Start harvesting at the little sandy peninsula going north.
  • Harvest up to the bridge by the UThought just to be sure, then go across the Nile and harvest on the east bank.

This should yield about 80-90 papyrus.

To dry papyrus and get some seeds too, you need to dry it on a drying rack or flax hammock on a high mountain. The higher the better. You know you are high when you start hearing the wind blowing. There is a good spot with some racks on the sandy mountain west of the UArt.

Research

Questions

  • How far downstream does papyrus appear from a planting?
  • Does the downstream distance vary from region to region?
  • How long exactly does it take for the papyrus to appear?
  • Is there really a difference in growing papyrus at different times of day?
  • How far off the Nile (East and West) does papyrus appear in lakes?
