Washington, Feb 13 : Archaeologists have found the earliest evidence ever discovered of an ancient Egyptian agricultural settlement.
Discovered by Archaeologists from UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles) and the University of Groningen (RUG) in the Netherlands, the findings included farmed grains, remains of domesticated animals, pits for cooking and floors for what appear to be dwellings.
None of the varieties of domesticated animals or grains are indigenous to the area, so they would have to have been introduced.
The findings, which were unearthed in 2006 and are still being analyzed, also suggest possible trade links with the Red Sea, including a thoroughfare from Mesopotamia, which is known to have practiced agriculture 2,000 years before ancient Egypt.
