Yes, it is true that one of the earliest known examples of resist dyeing (tie dyeing or batik) was found in a Chinese tomb from 1600 years ago. Tie-dyeing was also developed independently in other countries, such as Peru and India, and different resist techniques may also have been developed more than once in different cultures.

An interesting web page to look at for more information on the history of resist dyeing may be found at the World Shibori Network.

My own page on the history of tie-dyeing is "A Few Notes on the History of Tie Dye".
