The origin of glass making
To this day, nobody knows exactly how, where and when glass production began. In general, it is assumed that the former Phenicia, but also Egypt and Mesopotamia, the so-called Mesopotamia between the Tigris and Euphrates in today's Iraq, is considered the cradle of glass production on the basis of various finds. But it has not been conclusively proven. Be that as it may: Glass was discovered, invented, and man learned to produce it in ever greater quantities and to use it in the most diverse forms. The oldest glass of all is a blue amulet: It dates back to around 7000 BC Glass was originally used mainly for jewelry and decorative objects, as evidenced by finds of glass beads, vases, bowls, cups and other things.
