Glass:

There are some ancient glasses made in about 3200 years ago. Primitive glasses were made in "Choqazanbil temple" as an element of artichecture. After that their progress was going up, and they developed progressively until they found today shapes. It seemed that the glasses were used for making medicines (drugs), because the glass was cleaner than the pottery used formally and it was also more suitable measuring scale.

Bronze:

The first bronzes in our country refer to 3000 years ago. At that time, Lorestan people (in the west of Iran) made the bronze alloy (meaning the combination of two or more metals) while surrounding nations used the pure metals. The bronze was also able to make more ornaments on it. Most of the things refer to the basic surgery operations called "Lancet"; they were used to open the infection of the body. This is a historic sample of vise and here is a sample of the bracelet. They believed the use of these bracelets could be make health for human bodies and people could overcome the nature.

Pottery:

As I mentioned formally human beings painted on the wall in the caves to overcome the nature. When they moved from the caves to the rivers (to develop the agriculture), their primary building were not so stable and people couldnt paint at all. So, they started making Riton. "Riton" is a vessel that is a similar to the animals. For example, they had waterways in the vessels which were similar to the birds beaks or bulls horn, etc. people believed that they could obtain the animals power by doing so and they would able to overcome the animals and the nature. There has always been the belief of overcoming the nature with the human beings; whether when they used paintings into the caves, or when made Riton, or they used Therapy – tools, or at present time. We request help by God to overcome our difficulties.
