The Azerbaijani carpet has experienced a long history. In carpet patterns the people embodied its artistic talents,philosophic outlooks, and spiritual notions about beauty.
İnformation on Azerbaijani carpets can be found in various historical sources written by the ancient Greek historians Heredotus and Xenophon (5th c. B.C.), the Caucasian Albanian historian Moises Kalankatuski (7th c. B.C.), the Chinese traveller Xuan Tes-Ank, the Arabian travelers Al-Movsudi, Al-Mugaddasi, and Al-Istehri.
Carpet weaving is closely connected with the daily life and customs of the communities involved, its role reflected in the meaning of the designs and their applications. Thus, girls seated on carpets tell fortunes and sing traditional songs at Novruz (the regional New Year). The carpet is widely used for home furniture and decoration, and special carpets are woven for medical treatment, for wedding ceremonies, the birth of a child, mourning rituals and prayer.
As early as the Midlle Ages, Azerbaijani carpets were exported to foreign markets. In the 14th century they were exported to Europe. The carpets were represented in canvas by İtalian, Dutc and Flemish painters of the 14th-18th cc., for example, in Hans Memling's "Maria with the Child" and the Hans Holbein's "Ambassadors" (16th c.); Carlo Crivello's "Announcement" (15 th c.). In these paintings Karabakh, Ganja, and Kazakh carpets are represented. Today many museums of the world are in possession of Azerbaijani carpets.
The Azerbaijani carpet is a traditional handmade textile of various sizes, with dense texture and a pile or pile-less surface, whose patterns are characteristic of Azerbaijan's many carpet-making regions.
Spider silk healing wound
Several cultures ranging from the Egyptians to the Romans and Greeks
to the Irish have medicinal traditions of using the cobwebs of spiders
to dress wounds, finding this arachnid-based injury dressing and band
aid material to help wounds to close and blood to clot. These days we
know that this is true due to the high vitamin K content of spider webs,
which is a known coagulant.
New research indicate that this ancient medical practice may be beneficial to wound healing for other reasons as well; spider silks may possess antimicrobial and hypoallergenic properties which can help protect a cut from infection and speed up its healing time.
Here is one technique taken from from Mother's Remedies : Over One Thousand Tried and Tested Remedies from Mothers of the United States and Canada by T.J. Ritter, originally published in 1910:
“Make a pad of cobwebs and apply to cut. I have never found anything to equal this remedy.” This simple remedy has been known to save many lives, and can always be obtained. As most housekeepers know; cobwebs are easily found in every home, and perhaps after reading this remedy they will not seem such a pest as heretofore, if we stop to think that at some future date our baby’s life might be saved by using them.
Shakespeare was apparently aware of the medicinal qualities of spider silk, as illustrated in his play A Midsummer Night’s Dream when the character named Bottom said this:
“I shall desire you of more acquaintance, good master cobweb,
If I cut my finger, I shall make bold of you.”

Recycling spider silk
The spider can easily recycle the silk by eating it.
The web is easily destroyed by bad weather and by catching prey. After a day or two the adhesive droplets of glue also lose their adhesiveness. The old web is eaten and a new web is constructed again. The cutting and the digesting of the web are done by special digestive juices that contain enzymes rather than by any mechanical cutting. These juices are also used to connect the strands of silk together.

Amazing gold spider-silk
If you are afraid of spiders , the golden spider you can not seriously scare . These creepy spiders can grow to the size of your palm , for example , some types of spiders have a span of Taiwan clutches of about 13 cm, but no matter how terrible they are, these amazing spiders spin webs up to 1 meter wide and strong enough to catch them snakes , birds and bats even !Spider - golden silk (or banana spider) was so named because of silk , which he uses to build its web. Sunlight yarn shine like gold, thus attracting bees and in the shadows merge with the foliage around the web , making it invisible to the victims of the spider. It is noteworthy also that the spider can change the color of the pigment strand in the process of weaving the web , so Wide Web will be invisible on a light or dark background. Also yarns spun by a spider which contain special chemical compound which repels ants.
Remarkably, only females to create a unique one of its kind with a solid web of golden hue . These spiders peculiar sexual dimorphism , where the size of the females at times larger than males. Female body reaches a length of 4 cm , and leg span - all 13 ! Males are almost 5 times less , and the length of their bodies together with spread legs is just 2.5 centimeters.
All spiders ( not only Spider - golden ) weave a very strong web. Wide consists mainly of proteins containing unusual amino acids alanine many (25 %) and glycine (about 40 %). Portions of protein molecules , rich in alanine to form a tightly packed crystalline regions of the folds , provide high strength, while those areas where more than glycine are more amorphous material capable of good stretch and thereby imparting elasticity filament . Cobweb five times stronger than steel and more elastic than nylon. This is very interesting stuff!
It's no wonder that scientists are looking for a way to artificially create such material , and the designer Simon Pearce with entrepreneur Nicholas Godley teamed up on the island of Madagascar in an attempt to create a fabric of spider webs - golden . Within four years , and Pierce Godley with more than 1 million females of golden spider collected spiders web and created a magnificent cloak of web strands . Simon Pearce says that the fabric is so light that it seems that you are wearing the cloak . And do not worry , no one was hurt when a spider making this cloak !
