How long have crackers been around? What is the history of the cracker?

[Mister Obvious]

I'm pretty such some sort of cracker-like bread has been around since the dawn of agriculture. I mean mixing flour and water and baking it is about the simplest and most obvious kind of bread.

That's what I was thinking too, absolutely...

And since it's historically been so important to conserve all supplies, I bet a cracker-like concoction was the first thing they thought up before using a bunch more stuff to mix together a big loaf of bread.
