Did you know that the tie goes back four thousand years to ancient Egypt? It was found on the necks of many Pharoahs adorned with precious stones wrapped around their necks. Archeologists have found what is believed to be the Knot of Isis around the necks of mummies which was used to secure the garments worn around the neck.
There are only a few different types of ties, but the ways you can knot a tie are practically endless. You may even end up inventing your own knot one day. A Half Windsor Tie Knot is a very commonly used knot for tieing a tie. It creates a medium-sized, triangular knot with almost perfect symmetry.
