1400 years ago Arabs thought that dates were the first trees to be domesticated. Today we know that this is false; the fig tree was the first to be domesticated.
"Scholars agree that the domestication of the fig tree came long before the domestication of other fruit crops like grapes, olives, and dates." This was only known recently, however this was portrayed in the Quran 1400 years before it was discovered. In chapter "The Fig" the order of domestication is correct:
By the fig and the olive. And Mount Sinai. And this safe land.
١ وَالتِّينِ وَالزَّيْتُونِ
٢ وَطُورِ سِينِينَ
٣ وَهَٰذَا الْبَلَدِ الْأَمِينِ
The fig before the olive; today we know that this is the correct order of domestication. In the next verse the mountain is before the land; today we know that the mountain is millions of years before the desert, which confirms that this is the order of events.
