the main discovery was how to tame wild animals and build mud brick houses.
Neolithic culture, Stonehenge circa 3000-1800 bce
I think there were a lot of Neolithic settlements because there should have been quite a few people at the time. (by the way, the Neolithic Age was from 8000 to 3000 BCE)
The discovery of agriculture marked the beginning of the Neolithic Age. This included the cultivation of crops, such as wheat and barley, and the domestication of animals, such as sheep and goats. This shift from a hunter-gatherer lifestyle to settled farming communities occurred around 10,000 BCE.
The Neolithic Era, also known as the New Stone Age, lasted from around 10,000 BCE to 2,000 BCE. It was a period when humans shifted from a hunter-gatherer lifestyle to settled agriculture and farming, leading to significant advancements in technology and social organization.
The discovery that started the neolithic age was farming
in 5000 BCE
Officially, the Neolithic Era ended in 5,000 BCE.
The year 3000 BCE falls in the 30th century BCE, as the centuries are counted backward before the common era (CE). Each century consists of 100 years, so the 30th century BCE spans from 3100 BCE to 3001 BCE. Thus, 3000 BCE is the last year of the 30th century BCE.
I believe it is 991 bce
since between 8000 BCE and 3000 BCE

The art of metallurgy began in the Near East, particularly in regions like Anatolia (modern-day Turkey) and the Caucasus, around 6000 BCE. The discovery and use of metals such as copper marked the transition from the Neolithic to the Chalcolithic period. This early metallurgy spread to other regions, leading to advancements in tools, weapons, and decorative items. Over time, techniques improved and expanded, eventually giving rise to the Bronze Age around 3000 BCE.
