Contrary to what the name might suggest, as with champagne, to a prosecco not to a region in Italy but to the grape. This white grape, now called glera, forms the basis of this sparkling Italian wine.

And this is where we're climbing to. Eventually we'll get to the top of the far falls, but from here we have a great view of them in the distance and the lower cascades before us.
5000 years before Christ | The discovery of glass
Glass is probably as old as the earth itself. It can be created at high temperatures such as volcanic eruptions, lightning strikes and possibly also by impacts of meteorites. Glass also appears to be present on the moon. Glass was found in one of the moon rock samples brought back by the crew of Apollo 14.
The Roman historian Pliny (A.D. 23-79) describes how Phoenician merchants who were transporting stones accidentally discovered glass in the region of Syria around 5000 BC. Pliny describes how these merchants, after arriving on the beach, set up camp and made a fire with the cooking pot resting on blocks of nitrate. Due to the intense heat of the fire, these blocks would have melted together with the sand, creating a glassy substance.
