Glass dates back to about 2500 BC. It originated in Mesopotamia and then was later brought to Egypt. Vessels of glass appeared about 1450 BC, during the reign of Thutmose III, a pharaoh of the 18th dynasty of Egypt.
Glass is naturally according due to the type of glass named Obsidian glass from volcanos, in the stone age, obsidian was used in tools and weapons for its razor-sharp capabilities.
During the late bronze age in Egypt, there was a sudden surge in the popularity of glassmaking, Archelogiests found colored glass ingots and beads.
around the 15th century, glass production increased around Western Asia and Egypt, glass was a material of luxury as only the rich could afford it. The techniques and recipes for glass and the other materials that were fuzed with it were secret only to the particular industries that knew how to make it. Glass workers elsewhere had to rely on imports of pre-formed glass, often formed in glass ingots.
The first "manual" for glassmaking dates back to ca. 650 BCE, instructions on how to make glass are contained on a stone tablet in the library of the Assyrian king Ashurbanipal.
And now glass is used in windows and in cars and other things. Glass is cool.
