Wheat started being cultivated 10,000 years ago
Wheat is one of the oldest crops in the world. It started being cultivated in the Euphrates Valley in the Middle East almost 10,000 years ago. To give you an idea of how long ago that was, Britain was still part of mainland Europe at the time and would not split off for another 2,000 years. Wheat cultivation is even older than the first cities in the world, the Great Pyramid of Giza and the first solar calendar ever created. It has been with us for a very long time.
