Agriculture wasn't born in one place. The Fertile Crescent domesticated wheat and barley around 11,000 years ago, but China (rice, millet), New Guinea (taro, banana), Mesoamerica (maize, squash), the Andes (potato) and the African Sahel (sorghum) all came up with it on their own. The same idea arose separately on every side of the globe.
Around 2300 BCE, Enheduanna, daughter of King Sargon of Akkad, became high priestess of the Moon god at Ur. She composed hymns to the goddess Inanna and put her name to them. She is the oldest person identified as the author of a literary work, about 1,500 years before Homer.
Squeeze Earth's 4.5 billion years into a single 24-hour day. Homo sapiens shows up around 11:59:54 p.m., roughly six seconds before midnight. All of written history, from Sumerian tablets to today, fits into the final tenth of a second. A cosmic blink.
