Invention of Plough

The invention of the plough, which dates back to around 3000 BCE, revolutionized agriculture by allowing people to cultivate land more effectively. This tool, typically drawn by animals, turns and aerates the soil, making it easier to plant seeds and improve crop yields. Initially made from wood and later from metal, the plough enabled societies to transition from nomadic lifestyles to settled farming, supporting larger populations and leading to the development of cities and civilizations. Its impact on food production and societal structure has been profound and enduring throughout human history.
