It is hard to put a true date on when the loom or weaving machine was invented. There is evidence of cloth being made in Mesopotamia and in Turkey as far back as 7000 to 8000. Wool was accessible in Egypt, as well, but was considered a fiber of the lower classes, namely, herdsmen and farmers. Cloth made from wool was thought to be crude and irreverent. Fabric made with cotton was much more acceptable and has been found in Egyptian tombs. In 1804, French silk weaver Joseph Marie Jacquard invented the first electric loom.
