Archaeologists in Egypt find 5000-year-old brewery
Archaeologists in Egypt have uncovered a 5000-year-old brewery capable of making 22,000 litres of beer at a time. While not the oldest brewery from early Egypt; it was found in a sacred part of the ancient Egyptian city of Abydos which was reserved exclusively for the use of Egypt's early kings. Archaeologist and Egyptologist, Matthew Adams, is the co-director of the excavation at Abydos. He told Corin Dann the beer was literally fit for a king.
