NATIONS THAT INFLUENCED
THE GLASS INDUSTRY
MESOPOTAMIA 2700 BC
INVENTORS OF GLASS
Mesopotamia, later known as Babylon and then Iraq, is the Birthplace of Civilization and Glass. However, a Civil War broke out and split Mesopotamia into Babylon to the South and Assyria to the North and left Mesopotamia unable to keep pace with glass development. They used glass primarily for jewelry. During the war, people left the region by migrating West to Canaan and then down to Egypt, carrying their skills and glass with them. Abraham was one.
EGYPT 1500 BC
LARGE SCALE MANUFACUTURING
Egyptians far surpassed the skills of their ancestors in Mesopotamia, King Tutt's Tomb proves it. Egyptian Glass was made so well that it was traded by the Phoenicians around the Mediterranean. A discovery of a 1300 BC Phoencian ship that sunk off of Turkey, carried 175 Egyptian Glass Ingots. This prooves that Egypt supplied other Glass Manufacturers the Raw Materials from their three glass factories.
