Tai, steel question....

Quite interesting. This is addressed to Tai, do you know when in history, and where in the world carbon was first added to iron to make steel? We know the Japanese were making steel as the Koto period of katanas began about 800 AD, so I figure they had the technique down before that. And, they were layering steel as well. But where did steel begin?
