Archaeologists have unearthed a 5,000-year-old beer factory in Egypt, according to the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities.
According to foreign media reports, the beer factory was found in the ancient Egyptian city of Abydos.
5,000 years ago, Egypt was ruled by a king named Normer.
Dr. Matthew Adams of the University of New York, who made the discovery, believes that beer was used in the royal burial rites of the kings of Egypt.
Dr. Mathews further points out that previous excavations in the area have shown that beer was used in rituals.
The Secretary-General of the Egyptian Antiquities Council said that the discovered beer factory was divided into eight large parts for the production of beer, each containing 40 clay pots.
Dr. Mathew says the beer factory can produce about 22,400 liters of beer at a time.
Foreign media reports that Egyptian officials are keen to display these newly discovered artefacts to attract tourists back after the Covid-19 epidemic hit Egypt’s tourism industry.
