Impact of finding this tech sooner:
Transition to high-performance alloys.
Precision shaping for machine parts and gears.
Iron metallurgy
Iron metallurgy
3,500 years ago (BASE)
→ 30,000 years ago (DJED)

Automated milling, textiles, and pumping systems.
Agriculture
Agriculture
10,000 years ago (BASE)
→ 58,000 years ago (DJED)
The Djed powers irrigation and grain grinding long before crop domestication is essential, making cultivation practical without total reliance on hand labor.
Impact of finding this tech sooner:
Sedentary communities tens of thousands of years earlier.
Larger food surpluses supporting craft specialization.
