Found the 6.200-year-old ancient blue indigo cloth in Peru

A piece of ancient blue indigo cloth dating back to 6,200 years old is considered the oldest cloth in the world to date, recently discovered in Peru, making the international archaeologists extremely shocked.

Accordingly, this ancient blue indigo cloth was discovered by a researcher at George Washington University in the area of ​​Huaca, Peru . The fabric is made of old cotton fabric, estimated at about 6,200 years old and this may be the oldest cloth in the world today.

Not only that, the stock cloth reflects the ancient textile industry that has developed for a long time along with the ability and sophisticated dyeing techniques of ancient residents in the past.

No one has yet been able to determine whether this is the finished product of ancient Native Americans or ancient native Europeans because the ancient form of weaving and dyeing in the history books is derived from these two strains of people. This cotton fabric is similar to the ancient Egyptian cloth taken from Gossypium barbadense tree .

Earlier, many textile artifacts were also found in the nearby desert area of Huaca Prieta in 2009, amidst many textile artifacts of northern Peru culture.

Many archaeological experts say that it is possible that the area of ​​Huaca and some surrounding areas in Peru may have been a place of gathering the activities of ancient houses, or farms of ancient weaving and weaving of ancient residents. .
