I wouldn't be surprised to see it prehistoric cave art.  Before chairs, it seems a logical way to sit.  Even now, when I see a squarish rock or log, I'm sitting half lotus.

Ancient Egyptian Art (Or Kemetic? Since Kemet is old name of Egypt).

Perhaps this counts too... this lotos on which he sits... Like Buddha... 👀

Better add that to your thread title then .

 

But I am pretty sure their ancestors did that too , how far you want to go back  ?   Would 60,000 years do it ?

 Done! 😇 How far? Well, older = better. But with evidence in form of carving, drawing, figurine, statue, skeleton...

I remember when I learned it’s good to always have your “knees higher than buttocks”…

 

Game changer for the back :)
