I would like to know the founder of Gysum and how the name Gypsum was assigned.

plz post link to site if possible.

I would like to know if this is for your homework, and why we are supposed to look up sites for you. :doh:

 

I'm just curious because the first hit I got says the Egyptians were using it 5000 years ago for a joining material so I doubt you'll ever find a named discoverer. As for the name gypsum, wouldn't it be known under different names by different peoples?

 

Are you asking who used it first for a certain application?

If this is homework...I'll give you clue, the name Gypsum is derived from a Greek word meaning...

 

Now google it.

 

It's first use was 6000 BC, so it's highly unlikely anybody knows who discovered it...unless you're asking who founded the recycling firm Gypsum. :P
