Scissors date to 1500BCE in Egypt, perhaps back as far as 2000BCE.
Paper originates in China in 200BCE.
But granted, Papyrus (close enough to paper) dates from at least 2500BCE, long before we have evidence of scissors.
So how did we play rock, paper, scissors without scissors? Rock and paper is a rather dull game!
