Found the oldest beer factory on earth

 

The world's oldest beer factory has been found in Egypt. Founded by a joint team of American and Egyptian archaeologists, the beer factory is considered to be the oldest in the world. According to archaeologists, this may be the oldest archeological structure found in the oldest archeological site in ancient Egypt.

According to Mustafa Waziri, secretary general of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities, the beer factory is located in Abydos, the site of an ancient tomb on the west bank of the Nile. It is located 450 km south of Cairo.

According to Waziri, the factory was found in the area of ​​the Egyptian king Narmer. King Narmer (3150 BC to 2613 BC) is considered the father of the unification of ancient Egypt.

According to Waziri, archaeologists have found eight different units at the site. Each unit is 20 meters long and 2.5 meters wide. Forty pots of various shapes made of clay have also been found here. He estimates that the utensils will be used to heat a mixture of crops and water for beer production.

The joint campaign was co-chaired by Dr. Matthew Adams of the Institute of Fine Arts at New York University and Deborah Wischak, an associate professor at Princeton University.

Adams says the beer factory may have been set up in the area for a royal banquet at the time. As per him "Archaeologists have unearthed evidence that beer was used in ancient Egyptian sacrifices."

According to the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities, the factory was first mentioned by British archaeologists around 1900. However, the factory could not be excavated as its location was not known at that time. Nearly 120 years after the claim was made, what British archaeologists say has been proven.
