Knotted-pile carpet rugs are thought to have developed in western Asia 4,000-5,000 years ago. The oldest carpet ever discovered is the Pazyryk carpet, which is a pile carpet rug discovered in a Siberian burial mound in 1949.
The oldest hand-knotted oriental rug known was excavated from the Altai Mountains in Siberia in 1948. It was discovered in the grave of the prince of Altai near Pazyryk, 5400 feet above sea level, and clearly shows how well hand-knotted rugs were produced thousands of years ago.
