Examine one of the oldest wine jars in the world, a queen’s golden beer straw, and the Egyptian hieroglyphs that portray alcohol rations for the hereafter. Delve into the research of a biomolecular archaeologist from the Penn Museum who gathered fermented beverage samples from ancient vessels and revived some of these potent “time capsules” through chemical analysis.
