Refimprove date February 2009 for the use of knotted cords used by the Inca Empire quipu A knotted cord was a primitive Surveying surveyor s tool for measuring distances. It is literally a length of cord with knots at regular intervals. They were eventually replaced by Chain unit surveyor s chain s, which being made of metal were less prone to stretching and thus were more accurate and consistent. Knotted cords were used by many ancient cultures. The Greek schoenus is referred to as a rope used to measure land. Ropes generally became cables and chains with Pythagoras making the Greek agros a chain of 10 stadia equal to a nautical mile c 540 BC. The Romans used a waxed cord for measuring distances. An interesting form of a knotted cord is one 12 lengths long the units do not matter which is closed into a loop. This cord can be used to lay out a right angle by forming the loop of cord into a 3 4 5 triangle. This could be used for laying out the corner of a field or a building foundation, for instance. Ancient Egypt Knotted cords were used by rope stretcher s, royal Surveyor surveying surveyor s who measurement measure d out the sides of fields Egyptian language Egyptian 3ht . The knotted cords Egyptian ht were 100 royal cubit s in length with a knot every hayt or 10 royal cubits. The rope stretchers stretched the rope in order to take the sag out it and keep the measures uniform. Since land in Egypt was measured in several different units there would have been knotted cords with the knots spaced in each unit including mh t3 or land cubits, remen royal cubits, rods or ha3t , generally the lengths in multiples of 100 units. The longest measured length listed in the Rhind papyrus is a circumference of about a Roman mile with a diameter of 9 khet.

Orphan date February 2009 Unreferenced date December 2007 A Bag face is the front panel of a bag woven by various nomadic tribes of the Middle East and Central Asia for utilitarian and decorative purposes. The nomadic tribes of the Middle East and Central Asia are perhaps more known for the hand knotted carpets and hand woven kilim s flatwoven textiles that they made. These tribes include but are not limited to the Belouch , the Turkmen people Turkmen , the Afshar s, the Bakhtyari , the Qashqai , the Kurds and many others. The bags that they wove were done in the same techniques as the larger rugs they also made. The most common technique is Persian Carpet hand knotted pile , but many tribal bags were also done in the various flat woven techniques including plain weave kilim weave , soumac technique and other less common techniques. These bags were used for various purposes. Often they were used for transporting goods while on migration. They also served as storage containers to be used in the tent or yurt . There are also specialized bags such as bags for carrying mirrors, bags for carrying the Qur an , bags for carrying tent stakes and more. Often the bags are known by specific names based on the function they served. Some common bag names are cuval camel bag , khorjin double sided donkey bags and mafrash bedding bag to name just a few. Often, the back panel of a bag will have little or no design. Generally on bags with knotted pile faces, the back of the bag will be executed in a plain woven kilim technique. From the collecting collector s point of view, the front or the face of the bag is much more interesting and more collectible. Often, with antique bags, the backs of the bag have been separated and discarded at some point and only the bagface remains. Although there are still some tribal weavers weaving nice bags, it is the antique bags and bag faces that are the most prized and the most collected.
