Ancients in the pursuit of inebriation

[David777]

This below 15 minute YouTube video uses graphics and a sprinkling of humor, summarizing drug taking practices in ancient Egypt. A useful reflection on use in today's world. There are numbers of other websites with limited indications of drug use by ancients, while the below just targets Egypt since its history is better documented due to extensive writings and glyphs. Of note, much earlier than the famous Egyptian civilizations, in Mesopotamian city states, beer drinking from vats using long reed straws during hot evenings was a key reason those city state civilizations arose after the rise of agriculture 8,000 years ago.

Ancient Egyptians Got HIGHER Than You’d EVER Believe
