>Food historian recreates ancient Egyptian BEER using a 5,000-year-old recipe from the Pharaohs
>Ms Marks explained that the Ancient Egyptians produced and consumed vast quantities of beer. >She said: 'Beer was so essential it was treated principally as a type of food. >'It was consumed daily and in great quantities at religious festivals and celebrations. >'Beer was an essential for labourers, like those who built the pyramids of Giza, who were provided with a daily ration of more than 10 pints that works out to 40 dollars today to work on the Pyramids., i think that's less than the meme about a days wage in silver, iirc that works out to way above min wage today | ||
