Glass Making In Egypt

Early glassmaking site uncovered in Egypt
By Randolph E. Schmid, The Associated Press

What may be one of the earliest glassmaking sites in ancient Egypt has been uncovered in the eastern Nile Delta.

Evidence at Qantir-Piramesses indicates that glass was made there out of raw materials as early as 1250 B.C., researchers from England and Germany report in Friday's issue of the journal Science.

The reworking of already made glass into finished goods has been documented at ancient sites in the Middle East and Egypt, but the new report adds evidence for primary glass production at this location.

Egypt Making Glass

These kinds of discoveries always interest me simply because we may think that something was perfected centuries ago by one civilization, but was in fact, really in common use many centuries before that. It shows that techniques may mostly be lost rather than newly discovered.
