      Jute leaf stew AKA molokhia (ملوخية)
      Egyptian flatbread AKA ‘eish baladi (عيش بلدي)
      Salted mullet fish AKA feseekh (فسيخ) - this one is particularly eaten on the Egyptian spring holiday Sham Ennaseem which goes back to the ancient Egyptian festival of Shemu. Also make sure you only get this one from a reputable restaurant because, like Ceviche, the fish is not actually cooked but instead is cured using a generous amount of salt.

      School usually covers certain topics broadly, or you have a specialized class based on a topic like cults that cover mostly events and general dynamic of a society. Classes usually don't get specific into the bulk of material culture. There is a difference between researching why Ancient Egyptians built the pyramids, versus what did the Egyptian aristocrats wear for fashion, and how to recreate it.

    The comment about the Egyptians being fat with the diabetes... Reminds me of the Roman gladiator diet. They ate mostly barley and beans/lentils. Some people suggested it is because they are poor and slaves, but even famous freed and rich gladiators still ate this. After scientists looked at it, the food went straight to the chest fat. The gladiators had barreled "dad bod" chests with layers of fat. This gave them some protection against slashing attacks since it would provide some protection to the muscle underneath.
    So... carbs and having a dad bod could save your ass in the arena.

    • @ArmouredProductions
      @ArmouredProductions 3 ปีที่แล้ว +32

      And this was because Gladiator fights more often than not, were not battles to the death. Really it was more of a fight till first blood kind of thing, so the body type makes sense. Because getting slashed across the belly to shed some blood for the crowd is safer with a big ol layer of fat.

      Just be warned that ancient Bronze Age beer is less a beverage and more like soup or gruel in its consistency. If you're familiar with modern African beer, there's enough similarities for it not to be so shocking. But surprisingly beer was a large part of working class Egyptians diet, being served alongside this bread for lunch. The fermentation process hydrolyzed the grain into B vitamins and folic acid, which were otherwise difficult to obtain in their meat poor diet.

    Back when I was studying archeology I saw an interesting piece of ancient Egyptian graffiti that was found in a cave where workers who were hired to perform some major constructions would hang out.
    Among the images found, there were depictions of bread being fermented in water to make beer. Apparently the construction workers would take part of their daily ration and make more beer by sticking it pots if water and leaving them to ferment into alcohol.
    But these images are overshadowed by some some very rude and (at the time pornographic) depictions of Queen Hatshepsut, the person who ordered the construction, and her male construction overseer.
    See Queen Hatshepsut was actually made Pharoah, a role typically reserved for royal men, until her son took the throne. The images and comments left depict her as basically "The woman who wanted to be a man"...
    She was responsible for a lot of major construction projects, but she was almost erased by her son who wanted to give the impression his royal line from his father and grandfather was not interrupted, especially since it is believed that Queen Hatshepsut herself was not of royal blood, but had come from a very wealthy commoner family. So it just would not do to have both a female and a commoner as Pharaoh.

    • @likealightning4139

      It’s absolutely possible to recreate ancient beer. The process has changed only a little. Essentially you just need to cook a „soup“ with grains and leave that to ferment. Water and Grain is all it takes, and a bit of luck because that’s what you need to get the right yeast bacteria. Adding hops is a more modern development, as well as more intricate fermentation processes.
      Doesn’t even have to be Wheat. As long as it contains carbs, you should be good. Corn, rice, some root plants? All possible.
      I think the Egyptians actually used their bread to make beer, only roasting it a little and then letting it ferment in water. Don’t know where I read that tho.
      The Babylonians left a few recipes. They had many different kinds of beer made from various grains in certain percentages and processes, even dark beer.

There is also evidence that making beer is older then making bread, some going as far as theorizing settling and cultivation of wheat became necessary because they couldn’t get enough grain to make beer by collecting wild plants.

    Excellent video! And I would *totally* love to see more ancient Egyptian cuisine! Did they have cheese? What did they do with eggs (and what kind of eggs were they? Chickens came from Asia-- I'd watch an entire show just on what kinds of eggs ancient societies ate and how they ate them!) They had milk, you mentioned that, but what kind of milk was it? And honey... I read that beekeepers in Egypt kept their hives on rafts and slowly followed the bloom of flowers down the nile so the bees would get the best of them; that's dedication! Anyway, yes to more Egyptian food, and thank you!
