New York: People who lived on the shore of the Sea of Galilee in present day Israel made the first attempt at agriculture around 23,000 years ago, much earlier than previously thought, new research shows. Researchers earlier believed that farming started some 12,000 years ago in the Middle East.
The new discovery was made at Ohalo II, a 23,000-year-old camp site of a community of hunter-gatherers that lived on the shore of the Sea of Galilee.The site is located nine kilometre (km) south of the modern city of Tiberias and was discovered in 1989 when the level of the lake plummeted.
