The history of the Pencil.

I'm going to write about the pencil's inventor. His name remains unknown but Honrad van Gesner (1516-1565) published in 1565 an article about an instrument that you can use to write. The pencil consists of a bar of graphite placed inside a wooden frame.

But this is not the only version of the pencil's story. Other people say that in 1564, a tree was thrown down by a storm in Cumberland, England. Under the place where the roots had been there was a mass of some substance. This mass was graphite.


Today the pencil is an elemental instrument from everybody.

I don't know what the true story is but they are very interesting and they explain how did the pencil appear.
