In order to facilitate human life, he took nature as an example and started to use the functions of his limbs by increasing them on the tools he made. The palm of his hand set an example for the spoon he carved from wood thousands of years ago, and inspired the ladles of construction machinery after the development of technology. In the same way, the holding power of his fingers, the force of his fist, the sharp side of his hand, the clenching feature of his teeth inspired different designs in daily life requirements, and brought the functional features exemplified by modern technology to life.

The fork is one of them, perhaps the most visible, similar to fingers.

In the sources I used to write the cultural history of the fork, it is written that the oldest fork-like apparatuses were seen in Ancient Egypt between 2400 and 1900 BC, although there is no complete consensus. In this ancient period of Egyptian civilization, large bronze forks were used in religious ceremonies to lift sacrificial offerings.

The fork belonging to the Greek Civilization, dated to the 7th century AD, was used in religious rituals.

It is stated in the studies conducted on this subject that the fork was also seen in the Ancient Chinese civilization in prehistory, and the people of Oijia, whose origins and fate after 551 BC are unknown, also used a fork-like apparatus while eating.
