Glass is one of the earliest man-made materials invented by humans. According to historical records, around 3000 BC, Mesopotamia and other regions appeared a primitive glass produced by high temperature melting of quartz powder - "Fience", and the real mature glassware appeared in Egypt and Syria around 1500 BC.
The production of glass is the process of the ancients through continuous experimentation and improvement of Feons, and the early glass only has simple beads and sticks and other objects. In the eighteenth dynasty of ancient Faro, Themus III of Faroe (1490-1437 BC), the king of Faro, conquered Syria and entered the border of Mesopotamia, during which more complex vessels and glass containers appeared in Egypt.
As one of the most precious materials of the time, glass has always been favored by high society, and is on par with agate and crystal.
With the heating up of the collection of ancient glass beads, people's level of appreciation is getting higher and higher, and the level of understanding of glass beads has also improved. The introduction of ancient beads on the Internet and in the paper media is also very detailed, but some of the illustrations are not perfect: or shooting problems, or pixel problems, or the quality problems of glass beads, these problems affect the accuracy of Tibetan friends' identification of glass bead collections, which can be described as a thousand miles away. The world decided to publish its own standard for the identification of glass beads in order to benefit Tibetan friends.
