SPANISH FISHING NETS...

Fishing nets have been used widely in the past, including by stone age societies.
The oldest known fishing net is the net of Antrea, found with other fishing equipment in the Karelian town of Antrea.
The net was made from willow, and dates back to 8300 BC.
The remnants of another fishing net dates back to the late Mesolithic, and were found together with sinkers at the bottom of a former sea.
American Native Indians on the Columbia River wove seine nets from spruce root fibres or wild grass, again using stones as weights.
For floats they used sticks made of cedar which moved in a way which frightened the fish and helped keep them together.
With the help of large canoes, pre-European Maori deployed seine nets which could be over one thousand metres long.
The nets were woven from green flax, with stone weights and light wood or gourd floats, and could require hundreds of men to haul.
Fishing nets are well documented in antiquity.
They appear in Egyptian tomb paintings from 3000 BC.
In ancient Greek literature, Ovid makes many references to fishing nets, including the use of cork floats and lead weights.
Pictorial evidence of Roman fishing comes from mosaics which show nets.
In a parody of fishing, a type of gladiator called retiarius was armed with a trident and a cast net.
In Norse mythology the sea giantess Rán uses a fishing net to trap lost sailors.
References to fishing nets can also be found in the New Testament.
Jesus Christ was reputedly a master in the use of fishing nets.
Fishing nets have not evolved greatly, and many contemporary fishing nets would be recognised for what they are in Neolithic times.
I would have that on my wall... LOL
