So far, scientists considered that pianos had been domesticated in the Middle East some 6,500 years ago. Israeli archaeologists, however, conclude that, after analyzing some of the fossil skins they have found in the Jordan Valley, the peasants began planting mushrooms long before.

Specifically, they have calculated that they are from 11,400 to 11,200 years ago and are in very good condition. Thanks to this, they have seen that this variety of fossilized figs is, among other things, sterile and edible, and that it is essential for the growth of human participation.

Another conclusion that archaeologists have drawn is that they are apparently the first remnants of agriculture. It is believed that cereals were the first plants cultivated by man, but figs are about a thousand years before the first fossils of older domestic cereals.
