Chapter 721 The Origin of Agriculture
Yes, rice is not the earliest crop grown by humans.
Wheat is.
This may be why many people in our country like to eat rice.
One of the reasons why foreigners like to eat bread.
Professor Yan Xin is a professor in the field of life sciences.
I really know something about this aspect.
“According to current accounts, the wheat we eat now.”
“It is a crop that has been artificially screened and cultivated for many generations.”
“Wheat’s Ancestor is a very common plant for us.”
A researcher on the side replied, "Is it Setaria?"
Professor Yan Xin nodded, "Yes, it is Setaria."
"Wild Setaria has been cultivated for many generations. After that."
"It became what we now know as wheat."
It is now recognized that the earliest crop of mankind is wheat.
It originated in the Fertile Crescent of Western Asia 10,000 years ago.
This is the earliest origin of agriculture.
In other words, the scientific community now believes that human agriculture originated 10,000 years ago.
It is precisely because agriculture was born 10,000 years ago.
That’s why we have everything behind us.
But why was agriculture born 10,000 years ago?
Old Wu at the Eye of Sahara said softly.
"In recent years, many archaeological sites in our country have proved it."
"Rice was the first to be cultivated in our country."
Professor Zhou asked from the side, " Did the earliest agriculture originate in our country? ”
Old Wu shook his head, "It is said that the earliest agriculture originated in that place in West Asia."
Si Xiaoping understood, "Is it the Mesopotamia Basin?"
"It has been there since ancient times. A fertile land.”
“It does have a very good environment.”
This is a place that Professor Zhou doesn’t understand.
Like some regular viewers.
They think that my country is the earliest rice-growing country.
I subconsciously think that our country is the first place to develop agriculture.
In the Holy See of the Vatican.
Saint Celia is still under house arrest, and Hussein is monitoring Celia's every move.
But for so many days, Celia had no idea of escaping.
“Since ancient times, the legendary Garden of Eden has been recorded in the Bible.”
“And Siana is known as a place flowing with milk and honey.”
“Biblical researchers throughout the ages believe this is the place where the Garden of Eden is located.”
“The earliest agriculture originated from this place in Western Asia.”
Celia is very familiar with these contents.
The former Holy See also thought of looking for the legendary Garden of Eden in the past.
If you find the Garden of Eden, you have found God.
Because the Garden of Eden is where God lives.
Another reason is.
Adam, their ancestor of Western humans, was driven out of the Garden of Eden.
As descendants of Adam, they naturally want to return to the Garden of Eden.
The most likely place to be the Garden of Eden is West Asia, the birthplace of agriculture.
But the Holy See sent people there many times, but no Garden of Eden was found.
On the contrary, I discovered other even stranger places.
Celia seemed to already know what Ye Zhen was going to say next.
Hussein's inner belief has already been shaken.
However, after many shows, Hussein would apply to do penance.
To consolidate and strengthen your beliefs.
What you have believed in for your whole life does not mean you can give up if you want to.
In Game 749, Song Xuan also knew that the ancestor of wheat was originally a wild foxtail grass.
Because it is in an anime called "Stone Age".
The protagonist once used wild foxtail grass instead of wheat to make ramen. "Where did agriculture originate?"
"West Asia ten thousand years ago?" Ning Xiu could look up this information on the Internet.
If viewed individually, there is nothing special about this information.
But this is the information revealed by Ye Zhen.
This is extraordinary.
At this time 10,000 years ago, Ning Xiu thought of Atlantis.
This is the legendary country of communists.
In fact, Professor Zhou thought of it in his mind.
But Atlantis was twelve thousand years ago.
This doesn’t match up at all, it’s a full two thousand years off.
Ning Xiu also shook her head, "It should have nothing to do with it. After all, there is a difference of two thousand years."
Back to the show.
Ye Zhen started to talk.
“It is now recognized that humans have developed agriculture in the Neolithic Age.”
“The earliest time point was in the Fertile Crescent in Western Asia.”
“There People first started planting wheat.”
“The history of human development can be said to have truly begun with the advent of agriculture.”
"Do you still remember the Sumerian civilization?"
"It is known as the earliest civilization of mankind."
"Sumeer developed in the Mesopotamia."
“The Sumerian civilization shocked the world. I have said it in previous programs.”
“I won’t go into details here.”
“The Sumerian civilization was a civilization 6,500 years ago, much earlier than the ancient Egyptian civilization.”
“At that time, Sumer had city-states, invented the wheel and bronzeware.”
“There are also plows used for farming.”
“It can be said that the Sumerian civilization at that time was more advanced than the civilizations of thousands of years later.”
“But if we go further Up? ”
The earliest period now recognized as the Neolithic is 10,000 years ago.
The boundaries are determined based on agricultural development.
From 10,000 years ago to 5,000 to 4,000 years ago, this is called the Neolithic Period.
Why is the Sumerian civilization so terrifying?
Because while other civilizations of the same period were still using stone tools, the Sumerian civilization already had bronze tools.
It can be said to be something ahead of its time.
The birth of agriculture was accompanied by the birth of the Neolithic Age.
"Everyone remember Turkey." Ye Zhen changed the subject and mentioned the Türkiye he mentioned before.
“Noah’s Ark is docked at Mount Ararat in Turkey.”
“I have told you before.”
"Now we all think that the Neolithic Age was born 10,000 years ago."
"Before this was the Paleolithic Age, which was the age of hunting and gathering."
"And in the New Stone Age The Stone Age was the era of the birth of agriculture.”
“Why do I mention Turkey?”
“Because a site was discovered in Turkey that could overturn the history of mankind.”
"Göbekli Tepe."
Göbekli Tepe?
Some viewers have never heard of this name?
“I’ve only heard of Stonehenge in England.”
“Is this the same thing?”
"Here in Türkiye again? Is it such a coincidence?"
Some Western viewers have already begun to imagine.
“It must have been built by the descendants of Noah!”
“I know it without even thinking about it.”
Selia in the Vatican heard Ye Zhen say After Göbekli Tepe.
"Sure enough, it is this place." Celia showed that it was indeed the case.
