Regular agriculture began around 10,000 years ago, a period that roughly coincides with the Sita's birth from the earth while ploughing. This parallel isn't proof of a direct link, but it does raise interesting understanding. Did the rise of agriculture, and the resulting importance of land ownership and fertility, influence these myths? Or do these myths reflect a deeper, pre-existing connection between humans and the earth?

It's fascinating to consider how real-world changes and cultural beliefs might intertwine.
