Tsiku lina dzuŵa kalekalelo, ngalawa yaikulu yamalonda ya ku Foinike inafika pamtsinje wa Belus womwe uli m’mphepete mwa nyanja ya Mediterranean.Sitimayo inali yodzaza ndi makhiristo ambiri a soda.Pakukhazikika kwa mafunde ndi kuyenda kwa nyanja pano, ogwira ntchitowo sanali otsimikiza.Luso.Ngalawayo inagwa pansi itafika pa mchenga wokongola womwe unali pafupi ndi khomo la mtsinjewo.

Anthu a ku Foinike amene anatsekeredwa m’ngalawamo anangodumpha kuchoka m’ngalawamo n’kuthamangira ku mchenga wokongolawu.Mchengawo uli wodzaza ndi mchenga wofewa komanso wabwino kwambiri, koma palibe miyala yomwe ingachirikize mphikawo.Wina mwadzidzidzi anakumbukira koloko zachilengedwe za kristalo m'ngalawamo, kotero aliyense anagwira ntchito pamodzi, anasuntha zidutswa zambiri kuti amange mphika, ndiyeno anayatsa nkhuni kuti awotche Iwo anadzuka.Chakudyacho chinakonzeka posachedwa.Atanyamula mbale ndikukonzekera kubwerera ku bwato, mwadzidzidzi anapeza chodabwitsa chodabwitsa: Ndinawona chinachake chonyezimira ndi kuwala pa mchenga pansi pa mphika, womwe unali wokongola kwambiri.Aliyense sankadziwa izi.Ndi chiyani, ndinaganiza kuti ndapeza chuma, kotero ndinachisiya.M'malo mwake, pamene moto ukuphika, chitsulo cha soda chomwe chimachirikiza mphikawo chinachitapo kanthu ndi mchenga wa quartz pansi pa kutentha kwakukulu, kupanga galasi.

Afoinike anzeru atatulukira chinsinsi chimenechi mwangozi, mwamsanga anaphunzira kuchipanga.Anayambitsa mchenga wa quartz ndi soda zachilengedwe pamodzi, kenaka amazisungunula mu ng'anjo yapadera, kenaka adapanga galasi kukhala lalikulu.Mikanda yaing'ono yamagalasi.Mikanda yokongola imeneyi inatchuka mwamsanga kwa alendo, ndipo anthu ena olemera anaisinthanitsa ndi golidi ndi zokometsera, ndipo Afoinike anapeza chuma chambiri.

M'malo mwake, a Mesopotamiya anali kupanga magalasi osavuta kuyambira 2000 BC, ndipo magalasi enieni adawonekera ku Egypt mu 1500 BC.Kuyambira m'zaka za zana la 9 BC, kupanga magalasi kukuyenda bwino tsiku ndi tsiku.Zaka za m'ma 600 zisanafike, kunali mafakitale agalasi ku Rhodes ndi Cyprus.Mzinda wa Alexandria, womwe unamangidwa mu 332 BC, unali mzinda wofunika kwambiri pakupanga magalasi panthawiyo.

Kuyambira m’zaka za m’ma 700 AD, mayiko ena achiarabu monga Mesopotamiya, Persia, Egypt ndi Syria adachitanso bwino pakupanga magalasi.Anatha kugwiritsa ntchito magalasi oonekera bwino kapena magalasi opaka utoto kuti apange nyali za mzikiti.
