As I recall, the world's largest piece of
glass was found in Iran. I think there was
an article about it in Scientific American
back in the 1950's. It was found in a qanat
(underground aqueduct). It's rectangular,
and it might be a door. I don't know why it
was in a qanat. You can't see through it,
because it's very clouded and highly colored.
I can't find any information about this piece
of glass on the Internet, which is surprising.
Searching on "world's largest piece of glass"
gets lots of links to the mirror of the Hale
telescope and a couple links to the younger
ex-President Bush, who apparently is thinking
about a project to make the next world's
largest piece of glass.
Does anyone know of a link to the one found
in Iran? I'd like to read what is known about
it, and where it is currently located. And,
of course, I'd like to see some pictures. |
