Academy Carpet

Carpeting was an invention born of necessity, as most inventions are. The nomadic peoples of the Persian Empire were the 1st to use carpets. They lived in a temperate climate, where the change in temperature between day and night could be quite drastic. To aid pad their tents and insulate them from the cold seeping into them from the ground, the ancient Persians wove together fibers; the 1st known attempts at rug making were actually from camel's hair.
