1873? Maybe 1873 BC but there’s history from 6000 BC and documentation from 2800BC.
There’s not even anything that happened in 1873 to use that date.

It’s literally one the fundamental inventions of human civilization. In the series Connections with James Burke, he describes how, if there were a collapse of modern technology (and this was 1978), those who survived would find themselves returning to the plough as the technological foundation from which to rebuild society.

Reminds me of this sign in the bathroom at a local bar: Some of our earliest records are beer recipes. Not only is 1862 thousands of years too late, there wasn’t even anything of note that year. Totally arbitrary ass-pull.
