The Pazyryk Carpet is the oldest known carpet on earth woven 2500 years ago (5th Century B.C.). It was discovered in the tomb of a Scythian prince in the Pazyryk Valley of Siberia by Russian archaeologist Sergei Rudenko in the late 1940s.

  3. Occasionally I get suckes into watching carpet cleaning videos. The guck that comes out of those things is alarming. Afterward, you can see how beautiful the carpet is
    Nobody should clean this one.
