Assalamualaikum Everyone I,am @nijumangoman, from #Bangladesh.

Pottery is an ancient craft that involves creating objects, typically containers, from clay that is molded and then fired in a kiln to harden it. It's a bit like playing with mud but with a purpose! Pottery for thousands of years, dating back to prehistoric times. It's like magic, watching skilled potters take that shapeless blob and turn it into something beautiful and useful. Imagine digging up ancient pottery shards and piecing together stories from long ago.

let's dive into the fascinating world of pottery history! Way back in prehistoric times, our clever ancestors discovered that they could shape clay into all sorts of useful things. These early potters didn't have fancy equipment like we do today – they used their hands and simple tools to craft their creations.

The invention of the potter's wheel in ancient Mesopotamia revolutionized the pottery game. Suddenly, potters could spin their clay creations with ease, making the whole process a whole lot faster and more efficient. It was like going from riding a horse to cruising in a fancy sports car!
