The concept of rulers and measuring tools dates back to ancient civilizations. The first known rulers were found in ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt, dating back to around 3000 BCE. These early rulers were made of materials such as wood, bone, and ivory, and they were used to accurately measure and mark lengths for construction and other purposes.
