tomb of ancient brewer found

[nobyipa]

Egypt's minister of antiquities says Japanese archeologists have unearthed the tomb of an ancient beer brewer


the tomb dates back to the Ramesside period and belongs to the chief "maker of beer for gods of the dead" who was also the head of a warehouse. He added that the walls of the tomb's chambers contain "fabulous designs and colors, reflecting details of daily life ... along with their religious rituals."

The head of the Japanese team, Jiro Kondo, says the tomb was discovered during work near another tomb belonging to a statesmen under Amenhotep III, grandfather of the famed boy-pharaoh Tutankhamun.

I read somewhere that ancient Egyptian beer was made by fermenting the entire mash, including the grain, and then straining off the beer after. I don't think they boiled either.
