Prior to being used worldwide, silk was first created in ancient China.
A Chinese empress is said to have discovered silk in the past, and for thousands of years, it was a closely guarded state secret. But as new trade routes appeared, silk began to reach new markets via what came to be known as the Silk Road. Other nations eventually began to learn the art of sericulture (or silk production).
