Ancient Egyptian Inventions - Ancient Egyptian Glass Making - Discoveries at Qantir

Ancient Egyptian Inventions - Early Ancient Egyptian Glass Making and glass working. Analysis of ancient Egyptian glass has shown that there were at least two different factory sites operating in the fourteenth century B.C., at least one in Egypt and one in Mesopotamia or Northern Syria. Early glassmaking or glassworking factories have been identified at the sites of Malqata, Amarna, el-Lisht, and Qantir. This video focuses on discoveries at Qantir the site of Ramesses II city Pi Ramesses.

A series of glass workshops have been hypothesized at Qantir-Pi-Ramesses in the eastern Nile Delta dating to 1250 - 1200 B.C.

This site is different to the others described above in that it has relatively little glassworking debris. Instead, it has a large number of cylindrical vessels or glass-coloring crucibles for which no domestic parallel is known. So far, about 1100 fragments have been recovered, representing a minimum of 250 to 300 vessels.
