Seeds

The story of our civilisation begins with the story of seeds. Seeds discovered in ancient archaeological digs tell tales of who we were, what we ate, what we believed in and how we lived. It was seeds that allowed us to experiment with growing food instead of having to kill it or forage for it. Seeds, and learning how to propagate them, allowed our ancestors to settle.

Appearing in art, literature and religious texts, seeds symbolise life, hope and death. They’ve been offered to gods in religious, to cultivate or grow.
