Islamic Timeline

I put together a general, not specifically rug oriented, Timeline, from existing sources. Friends intimated a need for an easy reference. It's at my newsletter page: http://www.orientalcarpets.com.au/newslett.htm#ISLAMIC%20TIMELINE
Please copy and use as you wish.

Here are a few pages that I have been working on.

Hello
Here are a few pages that I have been working on.

New - Guide to Zakatala rugs
http://www.spongobongo.com/0heq9993.htm
In it I come up with a theory why Zakatal rugs are
so different. Why? Worms, actually silk worms.

New - Guide to Fachralo Kazak Rugs
http://www.spongobongo.com/0her9730.htm
Gendge or Kazak, I picked, see if you agree.

Revised - Guide To Dragon Carpets
http://www.spongobongo.com/cauc6.htm
The old page got a little shabby seemed like time to
dress it up a little.

I have been adding rugs and drastically refining the
Caucasian pages. I have found wonderful maps that are
a big help in understanding rug types and a large
number of good images. I am still only scratching the
surface I hope to establish guides for all or most of
the popular types.
Best wishes,
Barry O'Connell
