What is the name of the oldest surviving pile carpet?

Amazing, The colours.,patterns,motifs are incredible, have to admire the amount of workmanship. Love handmade carpets.

so intricate, I'm amazed that it's survived all this time & it's possible to go + see it. trully incredible

It's design looks like Punjabi fulkari of India

fascinating find, amazing how it's held up for millennia!

Not sure but I think my wife and I saw this carpet in British Museum when it was loaned from the Hermitage

I, Armenia, as a country and as an ethnic group of people, has existed for more than two millenia. The Romans make reference to it in their history, in part because it was a buffer country between Rome and Parthia. A lot of the Armenian politics contributed to the conflicts between Rome and their eternal enemies.

Only Nomad people could weave a carpet. And Armenia is an artificial country in the modern area. Because of these reasons the carpet can't be an Armenian one.

wow that's old

Player #76575322, it’s actually Before the Common Era.

Noni , Before Christ Era.

never heard of the time period BCE could someone please tell me where I can find information on this?

Amazing, why Russian name though, if it has been proven to be manufactured in ancient Armenia?

Wow that's awesome
