When did they start coal mining?
Coal mining has followed the history of the human race. Prehistory Hunter -- Gatherer populations sought coal usually found near surface areas. Coal is not always under the Earth, rather it can be in a geological 'seam' that is exposed to the human eye - accessible. Digging and exploration mining on a large scale is recorded as early as 2,000 BC. Prehistory cave drawings over 8,000 years old or older often utilize coal as a 'paint', much like chalk. Indigenous peoples sought coal and different coal types - keeping camp fires smoldering, hotter fires, 'Portable Fire', sterilization of clothing / wound sealing, human and animal body paints, purification of water, cooking tools, personal care tools, weaponry (blades, arrowheads, fire). One area for excellent examples of the history of coal and human development can be found in the verbal and now recorded history of American Indian populations in N. America, where coal was utilized in extremely innovative ways. Coal was staple for life and death (war paint - adornment of burial sites). IronHorse improved answer
