4,000-Year-Old Noodles Found in China

A 4,000-year-old bowl of noodles unearthed in China is the earliest example ever found of one of the world's most popular foods, scientists reported today. It also suggests an Asian—not Italian—origin for the staple dish.
The beautifully preserved, long, thin yellow noodles were found inside an overturned sealed bowl at the Lajia archaeological site in northwestern China. The bowl was buried under ten feet (three meters) of sediment. (View a close-up photo >>)
noodles were invented or first made by the Chinese, but "pasta", is of Italian origin, the shapes and/or uses.....
is that "Mighty Mouse" above me? cool......
Wow i thought it came from italy but reading all of the other comments i think china.
It's funny about ethnic food. Nationalities and ethnicities extend their pride to their food - Italian and Chinese food historians, in one example, still bicker over the true origin of pasta. Some reasonable Italians might say its origins were Germanic, and that this origin can be traced back to the 5th Century A.D., but some Italians have gone further to say that pasta was indeed unique to, and created by, Italians.
The first certain record of noodles cooked by boiling is in the Jerusalem Talmud, written in Aramaic in the 5th century AD. The word used for the noodles was itriyah. In Arabic references this word stands for the dried noodles purchased from a vendor, rather than homemade noodles which would have been fresh. Dried noodles are portable, while fresh must be eaten immediately. More than likely, pasta was introduced during the Arab conquests of Sicily, carried in as a dry staple. The Arab geographer, Al Idrisi wrote that a flour-based product in the shape of strings was produced in Palermo, then an Arab colony.
Well as everyone here has said China was the original "creator" back in the days, but with the creation of boats and better comunication, the were adopted later on by Italians, perfectioned them and called them PASTA (with al the different Italian types ase u can see in any bag of pasta: eg. rigatoni, Mostacholes, Bavette, etc.)
