History of Islamic Mosaic Tile

While looking around on the internet for this history of Islamic Mosiac Tile,
and the history of tile art found this website:

From that same website I was able to gather this:
Mosaic tile art dates back almost 4000 years into
ancient history. Sources say that around eigth century b.c. mosaic
tiles were used to create different patterns and actually used
as an art form. In ancient Greece the artists there used the mosaic
tiles to depict different images and patterns. Islamic
mosaic pieces can be seen as extremely geometric and
mathmatical. The pieces contain very intricate
patterns and complex placement of tiles. Overall once
fully done the design is an astonsihing one wheredifferent shapes and patterns can be seen.
