Domestication of Horse Traced Back to 3000 B.C.
Field Museum News reports a Mesopotamian find at Kish showing domesticated horse remains in Early Dynastic I tombs dated around 3000 to 2800 B.C. The bones, harnesses, and chariots imply horses were used for transport in the afterlife, challenging prior claims that horses entered Babylonia later. The Hyksos later brought horses to Egypt around 1700 B.C., per early Egyptian records.

Benedictine Order Founded by St Benedict Around 529

At St Ottilien their vows of industry have moved from crude handwork to highly mechanized production.
