The origin of the Hookah or water pipe can be dated millennia back and its initial traces have been found in the North Western provinces of India alongside the border of Pakistan in the state of Rajasthan and Gujarat. The Hookahs of the ancient times were very simple, rugged and archaic in design. The initial Hookahs were crafted out of a coconut shell base. They were designed to smoke opium and hashish. The Hookah headed for Persian Kingdom and made its way towards Pakistan, Afghanistan, many parts of Asia and Arab parts of Northern Africa.If the history of an object is goes back so far, it is very difficult to know who invented it. In most cases, like for the hookah, the name of its inventor is long forgotten.
