In a time before smartphones, before the internet, and before even before the invention of the bicycle, there was the carrier pigeon. These feathered messengers were the ultimate mode of transportation for the ancient world. They were the original 'Uber' of their time.
The earliest recorded use of carrier pigeons dates back to ancient Egypt, where they were used to send messages to the gods. It's rumored that they were also used for more mundane tasks like delivering takeout to the pharaohs.
Fast forward to the 19th century, when carrier pigeons became a crucial part of the postal service, carrying important messages across the globe.
