We said it was ok to bypass because you werent comfortable with it and because we actually know who you are . Thats the only reason for the bypass . Everyone must go through the age check . And we never store or see any of the verification info . You aren ' t sending it to us , it ' s all handled by Blue Check . Thank you ! <| sep |> Before the invention of agriculture , the only way you could live in a permanent settlement was if there was enough food in the vicinity to sustain you year round and the prospect of staying there was more attractive than any alternative . The oldest known permanent settlements in Egypt more accurately , the oldest wheat grains found in a village date to 5200 BC . Reinforcing the idea that settling had to be more attractive than the alternatives , these early farming villages were abandoned and the residents presumably returned to a pastoral lifestyle . Agriculture doesn ' t appear to have been permanently established in Egypt until about 4500 BC .
