Papyrus.
1. a tall, aquatic plant, Cyperus papyrus, of the sedge family, native to the Nile valley: the Egyptian subspecies, C. papyrus hadidii, thought to be common in ancient times, now occurs only in several sites.
2. a material on which to write, prepared from thin strips of the pith of this plant laid together, soaked, pressed, and dried, used by the ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans.
3. an ancient document, manuscript, or scroll written on this material.

Do you mean the whole Bible? Or are you referring to the oldest part of the Bible ( some say it is Job) ?
Probably it was vellum, an animal skin. But it could have been boulders or rocks. People did that way back then, you know. I have personally seen scripture written on a mummy's covering. It was a fragment, I forget what verse it was supposed to have been.
