How to make glass in ancient Assyria.
First, you grind your ingredients separately, which can include certain kinds of stone, roasted carnelian-coloured seashells, “white plant”, and salicornia ashes.
Then, “You mix them together” and place them in a cold kiln with four openings

This list of Sumerian words, like a very ancient dictionary, dates to ~2300 BCE from the ancient city of Ebla.
Remarkably, one of the words listed is sha-zu, which means “midwife” (“one who knows the inside”).
