Irrigation
Records have shown that Egyptians were the first to use irrigation along the Nile river in about 3150B.C. Many people think farmers invented irrigation but only because pharaohs encouraged them to.
Irrigation was invented so plants could be watered, even if they were far away from the nearest water source. Irrigation was invented 5000 years ago.
Ox Pulled Plow
This invention has not only revolutionized the cultivation of Egyptian people, but its modified version is still used today by farmers in the underdeveloped countries that can not afford machines for plowing fields. According to sources, in the first version of an ox-drawn plow, the plows were hooked to the horns of cattle, however, because of its impact that affected their ability to breathe freely it was altered. Therefore, in the more developed version, the ancient Egyptians began to attach the plows to the bodies of their oxen by straps.
This Egyptian invention was one of the most important devices that brought a revolution in the field of Egyptian agriculture. The ox pulled plow was invented approximately around 4000B.C. This discovery was carried out through Egypt and therefore was discovered in Egypt. The use of oxen power to pull the plow made loosening of the soil much easier and faster than doing it with hands, or using humans for the task.
