Glass Production and Use in Ancient Mesopotamia, Egypt and Anatolia

Abstract

Ancient societies and states used rare and skilled materials and products, placing them in highly valuable positions. Glass, which is thought to have been first produced in Ancient Mesopotamia, was highly prized and held in important positions in Ancient Egypt and Ancient Anatolia due to its difficulty in production and rarity. In the initial stages, glass emerged in various product models such as glass beads, glass bowls, glass vases, and glass bottles. Although studies have shown that the use of glass was widespread throughout Ancient Mesopotamian society, it was understood that the products with high glass content were mainly used by the high-class people. In Ancient Egyptian society, glass was considered a product for people of high class. In the civilizations of Ancient Mesopotamia and Ancient Egypt, the state monopolized the production activities, export and import of glass by the dynasty. Glass was also exchanged as gifts between states. When we look at the ancient Anatolian geography, it is understood that glass production started in a later period compared to Ancient Mesopotamia and Ancient Egypt, and its role in society is not fully known.
