The first evidence of glass making was found in Syria around 5000BC. But the first archaeological evidence was found to be around 1500 BC in Egypt and Mesopotamia. Initially, manufacturing glass was a very difficult and a slow process. But it became easier with the invention of the blow pipe in Syria in the 1st century. Glass industry expanded manifold in the coming centuries, slumped in the next years, and picked up again in the 700 BC in Mesopotamia and in 500BC in Egypt. Over the next 500 years, Egypt, Syria and other countries along the Mediterranean Sea were centers for glass manufacturing.
