There was heavy Silk Research that occurred in the 19th century and was primarily done in India. The farming of silk occurred with four thousand cocoons of the silkworm, which produced just one pound of Silk Yarn. A Silk chemist named Wardle did his research at a university in England where he studied the Indian cocoon silk production so he could take it to Europe. They studied the Indian Silk moth that they set up in Indian Pavilions drawing them quite intensely. In 1757, the top researcher and creator of the Silk encyclopedia died, and the French scientific researcher named Reamer bequeathed him and started researching and added He added the encyclopedias the types of life including birds and insects. This time period in silk caused massive research and development and was done to attempt to be able to farm the silkworm in Europe where previously it had been caught with disease.
Ancient Greece and the Mediterranean had different types of fabrics that came from that area which included a linen and a silk fabric taken from mussels harvested in the Mediterranean. On, October 24 79CE In the Greek city state-controlled areas the doctor who developed new advanced medical treatments discovered and harvested something called sea silk called byssus. It comes from the Mediterranean Sea and comes from mussels that are harvested close to the shore. In 196 BCE, in Egypt and Greek, the byssus was possibly thought to be cotton with the fabric very expertly woven and their fibers were cut from the stem of the common flax. Greece’s Peloponnese Peninsula had these plants, and they were harvested from these plants. The locations of the territories in ancient Minoan sites in the Mediterranean were harvested and researched and came from very early European history- history before the dark ages. Greece civilization specialized in important fabrics including linen, wool, and sea silk.

Silk’s role in Nazi Germany started in 1938 when Hitler annexed Austria. In the 1,900’s they survived, and their publications were considered the identification of the Royal Hungarian society of natural sciences that studied the fabric and said that it was course, the fibers as thinner than a human hair and were degraded and easily broken. The classical Greeks and Romans writings said that they did not know where silk came from and its food and medicine in the first millennium said it was a mystery, and a very valuable status filled good.
The Byzantine Empire in 565 ADS traded along the silk road to acquire the silk moths that were from China and the Euphrates across the turkey’s border. They will never be seen by man. In Islamic Spain to Syria its description was more detailed its fabrics were weighed with gold with the Greek a term of an origins Greeks. In the Bronze age there, babies had a Biblica across Sardinia of the Romans for at least a thousand years. They were populated by prehistoric peoples. The Island had heavy lead deposits that were mined by the Byzantines and Romans.
Silk had a very interesting series of stories that were researched over time and was extremely valuable. It was studied with a serious of other fabrics and was translated from Before Dark Age Greece to Hitlers Germany. In 1914 his images were sent over a musical instrument, and they had water resistant fabric from felted wood. Fabrics in great numbers were sent to petrol pots and did not remove marine debris.
