We only know about when humans mastered fire or started using metal. But we know the exact date when the first powered flight took place. What are some really early “first ____” we know the date of for sure?

    When was the first artist signed work? There’s some pottery that has artist emblems in it, but signing art doesn’t seem to be a thing until the Renaissance. Who did it first?

      If the artist didn’t sign something, maybe a buyer or a patron left a mark.

      Some dated statue or completed building?
