In ancient Mesopotamia, a seed plow was an agricultural tool used for planting seeds. It consisted of a plowshare that was attached to a long wooden pole, and a funnel-shaped hopper that was mounted above the plowshare. The plowshare would break up the soil and create furrows, while the hopper would release seeds into the furrows. The plow was pulled by oxen or other animals, and was used to plant crops such as wheat and barley.
