WHERE DID HOOKAH ORIGINATE?
|
The true history behind the origination of Hookah is still in debate, however there is historical evidence that is able to approximate its origins. AhlīShirazi, a Persian poet, refers to the use of the ḡalyān, or Hookah back in 1535. This suggests its use at least as early as the 16th century. Cyril Elgood in India notes that the physician Irfan Shaikh, at the court of the Mughal emperor Akbar I (1542 - 1605 AD), invented the idea. Other sources suggest that no evidence of the water pipe’s existence can be found until the 1560s. (Excerpt taken from Heaven Leaf's Blog, which can be found HERE)
