EOTO Reaction: Carrier Pigions-Blog #6

 After listening to all my classmates' presentations, I realized that the topic that stood out was the history of carrier pigments. In ancient civilizations, the use of homing pigeons for messaging dates back thousands of years, with evidence of their use in accidents in Egypt for conveying news. 



The first message-barring pigeon was loosed by Noah. The ancient Romans used pigeons for chariot races, to tell owners how their entries had been placed. Genghis Khan established a pigion relay posts arcoss asia and much of Eastern Europe. 


Charlemagne made pigeon-raising the privilege of nobility. The Rothschild fortune is said to have been seriously augmented by a pigeon bearing news of the British victory at Waterloo. The thought of pigeons flying across the sky with a message tucked securely in their legs may seem like a scene from history. But, in the eastern Indian state of Odisha, pigeons still play a role in police operations, serving as a poignant reminder of their once-critical role in communication. Another thing that pigeons are used for is pigeons were used to smuggle drugs across international borders.
