Plough
A plough is a tool used in agriculture to create furrows in the soil and to plough the land. The plough can be moved by mechanical action or by the power of an animal.

The plough was considered a simple but revolutionary implement. The first news about this implement comes from Mesopotamia more than 5,000 years ago, this invention was presented as a wood to which another vertical wood was fixed and which was dragged by a pack animal.
It consisted of attaching this mechanism to an animal, which allowed much more work to be done than if it were done by a man using the strength of his arms. In Mesopotamia in the 4th millennium BC, we find the first representation of a primitive plough without a front set.
Some Sumerian cylindrical seals and pictograms show an instrument made of two timbers supported by a cross bar, whose extremities end in a coulter or blade, which has a rudder complemented by a seed deposit, and is pulled by oxen or zebus.

El arado también evolucionó.
The plough also evolved.
The plough was an evolution of an even simpler tool: the hoe. The idea is simply to turn the soil. As simple as that. But in doing so, the soil is aerated, it becomes more porous and better able to absorb rainwater, making it easier for the roots of the plants we are going to make grow.
This rudimentary tool was soon improved. A handle was added to guide it and the wood was bent to make it fit better into the soil. But the great advance was made in the Mediterranean: the Roman plough is the basis of all those that have been invented since then.

According to research, the Greeks made use of this equipment before the Romans, and it was during the Roman Empire that its use became widespread throughout Europe.
The basic structure of the plough was maintained for a long time, until the 9th century, when a metal point was added to improve its strength. Until then, humans, ever so practical, preferred to use metals mainly for making weapons rather than for farming.
With the arrival of the Normans, the plough had another important improvement: they put wheels on it. This made things easier, as it is not the same to drag something as to roll something.

Egipto
Egypt
The Egyptian plough has a piece where the coulter or blade, known as a tooth, is embedded. However, it does not appear to have been fitted with a piece of metal or stone, as there is no graphic representation of it.

Europa
Europe
Bronze Age Europe used the plough for ploughing. In the cave engravings discovered in France and Sweden depicting ploughs (around 3500 BC), the ploughs do not have two handles but only one.

In Venezuela
At present, old agricultural production systems are preserved in certain states, and these form traditional agriculture:
It depends on natural factors such as rainfall, soil fertility, family labour, human or animal power (ploughing) is used in agricultural work.
