I’m Egyptian, and my grandma always bakes Egyptian bread. We use it with basically everything from taamya (Egyptian falafel), foul and more. She told me that this tradition was passed on to her from her parents and it always remained in the family. This is a great video indeed! Keep it up

@@boid9761 time periods really. The pyramids w were built a long time ago even by Egyptologists standards. Alternative researchers place the time even further back. Cleopatra was born around 69 BC. Khufu was about 2589 BC. So by the most conservative standard of dating cleopatra is closer in time to the moon landing than the building of the pyramids.
@@boid9761 So according to mainstream egyptology they place it about 20 years. which obviously does not sit well with many other alternative theorists that contend that the tools proposed by egyptologist could not accomplish a job in that amount of time regardless of the number of slaves they put to the task. I'm personally inclined not to accept the 20-year period As even by almost modern stone masonry standards the Mormon temple in salt lake City was constructed by stonemasons from Scotland in about 40 years

I work in a museum with a big ancient Egyptian collection. My colleague comes back to work tomorrow, she's been off doing her PhD in ancient Egypt and I'm making this for her as a surprise, love the video!
Anybody that can give a lecture about Ancient Egypt and make it sound almost like a gangster flick is more than a natural born comedian! This one had me laughing through the whole thing. I definitely vote for another round of two of Egyptian recipes in general, especially for breads and dessert cakes. Those are hard to find!
Another flawless episode! This one touches a peculiar chord. I have long been interested in ancient Egypt. 20-odd years ago I even attended classes in order to learn how to read and translate Middle Egyptian. I was very much enjoying it and getting good enough, but had to drop it due to my main duties (I was completing my degree in Astronomy, a wholly other stuff). I still tell myself that one day I'll try again, but my routine keeps delaying me. Thanks for this lovely and informative trip to that distant world - I'd definitely like to see more. Every choice, though, is always fine.
Why does the fact that Egyptians really wanted this plain bread in the afterlife remind me of a kid who will only eat buttered pasta no matter what is available?
Oh, buttered pasta is THE BEST!!! I'm half Italian and my Italian relations could not understand the love my sister and brother and I had for butter and pasta and cold pizza or cold spaghetti with tomato sauce and meatballs and...yes, cold...Italian sausage for breakfast! The cold spaghetti was guaranteed to make my Mom and my Aunts shudder.

My grandmother was a librarian who was absolutely into ancient Egyptian history. I absolutely would love to see what you might have in the repertoire of recipes. She was a huge fan of Mayan, Peruvian, and Aztec history as well. I greatly enjoy the channel for it's information as well as it's foods.

I gotta say.... Watching Max delve into Egyptian history is RUclips porn at its best. I am sooooo making this bread to offer to the bouncer to see if he’ll let me in
@@onesob13 alright, my bread was not quite shareable, and pretty much everyone was allowed in at the bar. But, on the plus side, the bartender now knows about Max.
omg i was here when u started the channel and blew up but then got distracted with real life, and now, after coming back (finally), you have over half a million subs! congrats brother, you deserve it. i have a lot of catching up to do
history & food are my two favorite things. especially ancient history. i got hooked on max's content initially because of his Rome videos. Rome is the best.
So, not only am I Egyptian, but I actually studied Egyptology in University (many moons ago lol). I've been binging your videos for the past few weeks and just knew this one is going to be amazing, and it was; you did not disappoint. You clearly did your research about Ancient Egyptian history and more importantly, mythology - as usual - and I love the fact that you mentioned aish baladi, because that was the first thing I thought of when I saw what the bread looks like. Very impressive. Please keep making these videos because as someone who appreciates both history and food, your channel has been a great source of entertainment and comfort. Also, if there's any way I can help in future videos about Ancient Egyptian food, don't hesitate to get in touch!
Here's the thing: everyone thinks that what they believe is the truth. Your own self is the last person you can ever rely on to make that judgment for you.
I was today years old when I learned that when you died in Ancient Egypt, you didn't immediately just get to frolic off into your (disappointingly classist) afterlife, you had to come with a housewarming gift, an epic confessional, and be ready to threaten the hell out of your own heart so it couldn't squeal on you.
I believe that's where the saying "something weighing you down" comes from. As your heart would be physically weighed. If it is lighter than a feather then your heart was pure.
I knew about the heart scales and confessional and food bribing, but hearing about the heart spell was like finding out that there has been a cheat code the entire time
@@shards-of-glass-man Imagine not knowing about the spell, being insanely stressed out during your trial, and then meeting up with a new arrival years down the line who is like, “Good thing my heart didn’t get a chance to tell them about all that bread I stole! Now, where’s the nearest baker?”
I’d love to see more Ancient Egyptian recipes, it’s a such a long important period of history that gets glossed over in schools. Not to mention most people can’t comprehend how food was different 100 years ago, let alone 1000s of years BCE.
@@jesusmora9379 No one is to say anything is the bible is true or not for no one is alive to tell the tale nor is anyone able to go back in time to experience it yet. What I can say though, is there is evidence learning towards many parts of the bible being true, such of the Nephilim/Giants.
@@CausticSpace what there is is evidence of THE EXACT OPPOSITE, evidence of the bible being fiction. we have Greek, Roman, Egyptian and Persian writings, tablets, of every single year in ancient history, all of it contradicting what is written in the bible. we know every single ruler of Egypt, from Cleopatra all the way back to the scorpion king, and know what happened during their rule, we have extensive records of roman and Persian history, we have records made by ancient HISTORIANS. it is called HISTORY because it was recorded and we know about it, you can read what was written by people like Herodotus thousands of years in the past. you have been brainwashed by the church, do some actual research if you want to know THE TRUTH, the knowledge is available on the internet, wikipedia would be a good start. If you don't want to learn facts you can take your blue pill and go back to your life of lies, it's up to you.
Proud Egyptian here, its really impressive how well researched this video is, and i apologize beforehand for not knowing much about your background but the way you laid all the information down was just beautiful,funny & interesting.
When I was 11, I went to Egypt and on our first stop with our family tour bus - we asked if we could put our suitcases in the undercarriage. When the driver opened the door, they were cooking flatbread in the compartment!! Needless to say, it was so hot they could cook bread on the bus (and tbh it was delicious) Love You Max!!
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.
Have to admit your storytelling techniques are simply superb. Everything from the dish to the stories around it. Bravo! One of the only channels I am actually looking forward for a new video. Thank you Max Miller, this is Great!
Some foods that are still commonly eaten in Egypt today which go back to ancient times: Mashed fava beans AKA ful medammes (فول مدمس) 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.

I remember learning in Arabic class that “aish” means “life” and some Arabic speaking groups use that word to mean bread - this makes so much more sense in the context of the historical attitude toward bread in Egypt!
Ancient Egypt is my favorite ancient civilization. When I was young I was deathly afraid of mummies and my parents suggested that the best way to get over fear is to learn about the thing you're afraid of. I took out some books from my elementary school's library on ancient Egypt and mummies. After some reading the fear was gone and it was replaced by fascination of ancient Egypt. I would love more episodes on this civilization. Thanks!

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.
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.
This seems more like the carb loading that the modern day sports men do too. If you wanna get fat...the easiest way is to eat fat with those carbs. Coz the vegans eat the same stuff just without the fat and they are not exacly known to be big, strong and with dad bod lol.
Everyone else is focusing on the "Picture this: You are Dead" but honestly I really think the comedic highlight of the episode was the comedic reading Max did with the spell telling the heart to shut up and not say anything.
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.
I heard about that bit of graffiti in an audiobook about ancient Egypt, and it mentioned that this foreman had his own tomb in her tomb complex, which may be evidence that he was her lover. That's so cool that you actually saw it!
Yes!!! Make more ancient Egyptian recipes and “The Mummy” references, please! (I wanted to be an Egyptologist or a librarian as a kid, Evie is my idol!)
This reminds me of my middle school world history teacher. He *loved* Egyptian history (as did I). He would always get so excited at that time of the year teaching all this stuff to his kids. Even after I left his class, the History channel had an Egyptian history week and I excitedly caught him in the hall every day asking if he'd seen what the program the night before! Yes, this was when the History channel mostly showed historical documentaries and not 24/7 contrived drama. I miss that old man. May he rest in peace, I know his heart balanced.
There was a famous Formula 1 driver named "Castracane" not too long ago. The name is kind of selftranslating... No, I tell you - it means "dog castrator" - some dude in his family had a really shitty job...🙈
I love this channel because I love all kinds of history, but especially ancient Egyptian history. I also love food. I especially like Max Miller,s personality and style of presentation. It’s both entertaining and informative - really fun to watch. Please do more videos on ancient Egyptian food I’ve always been curious about it. Thanks😊

Fun fact a Persian army used cats to prevent the Egyptians from attacking them. It worked, and the Egyptians lost the battle. The Battle of Pelusium of 525 BCE. This engagement was the decisive clash between the Pharaoh Psametik III (526-525 BCE) and the Persian king Cambyses II (525-522 BCE) resulting in the first Persian conquest of Egypt.

Whether it be ancient Egyptian bread, or ancient Babylonian lamb stew, as long as it's an ancient recipe I will be highly entertained. Looking forward to more!
Not historically accurate enough. Needs more small rocks mixed into the bread. On a more serious note, do you have any sources that talk about how Ancient Egyptian cuisine changed under Persian, Greek, and Roman rule?
I do have some books that cover that. Especially under Greek rule. They Persians less so, as they were not about exporting their culture but rather just taking taxes 🤣

Well, that's to be expected. Theirs is a civilization that spanned over two thousand years, from before the pyramid builders to the Ptolemies. You can go to parts of this world that have been stable for two hundred years and get drift in that cuisine. The same flavors will be present but modified by technology or assimilation of others.
Actually I was introduced to one or two things from the Depression, and one was actually pretty good, in my view: hard boiled eggs sliced into gravy -- the kind of gravy you would put sausage into, and serve it over toast. Season it just right and it's very filling and delicious. 😁
THESE are the recipes I'm here for. The older the cooler. Also: I wonder if it's possible to recreate ancient beer... (and like an idiot, I typed this before getting to the end of the video. Also meat. Maybe Ancient Egyptian crocodile recipe. :>)
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.
@@likealightning4139 They did sometimes use bread to make beer, yeah. I know also that the typical commoner's beer was less a straight drink, and more a slurry which you used a straw to sip the liquid out of.
I just think it's really interesting the way a lot of what we eat now has evolved and changed and has been refined over the centuries but there are some things that are just tried and true.
@@0neDoomedSpaceMarine or you just embraced the chunks ^^. There‘s a reason beer had a reputation as liquid bread. 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.
Thank you for a great episode. I would love to see an exploration of the breads of the ancient Vikings, as well as other cultures. I really appreciate how thorough you are.
I definitely want to see more Ancient Egyptian recipes. I've studied their history pretty extensively due to my enduring fascination with ancient history in general and Egypt in particular.
Oh Max! You’ve made this Egyptology grad student’s heart so happy. Watched this with my breakfast this morning (I had bread, but not beer). P.s. those hunting scenes contain some pretty interesting symbolism!
@@TastingHistory Although this is something of a cursory answer, scenes of fishing and fowling in private tombs seem to have been about overcoming chaos. (There have been other interpretations as well). Something like The Art of Ancient Egypt by Gay Robins will probably have at least a general overview of these kinds of scenes.
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!
"Like a bagel!" - well, now we know where Moses got the recipe from! xD The A. Egyptian diet was honestly ludicrously bad for your teeth: Not only was there a lot of grit in the bread, but many bread types were sticky and doughey and stuck in your teeth, their beer was basicaly fermented bread-soup, and sweet figs was a common snack. Being a dentist in A. Egypt would have been a lucrative business is all I'm saying.
Imagine you're just simply very bad at learning by heart so you forget about half of your spells, and everybody just assumes you have done all the atrocities! Also yes, keep the bread videos coming! I would like to see either the boiled or the spiral bread

Interesting Egypt fact: We are closer in time to Cleopatra, than Cleopatra was to the the building of the Great Pyramid of Giza.
Yep! Cleopatra is closer to the invention of smartphones than the pyramids in Giza!
What? Wh-
What's the context behind this?
@@boid9761 time periods really. The pyramids w were built a long time ago even by Egyptologists standards. Alternative researchers place the time even further back. Cleopatra was born around 69 BC. Khufu was about 2589 BC. So by the most conservative standard of dating cleopatra is closer in time to the moon landing than the building of the pyramids.
@@mykulpierce How long did those pyramids took???
@@boid9761 So according to mainstream egyptology they place it about 20 years. which obviously does not sit well with many other alternative theorists that contend that the tools proposed by egyptologist could not accomplish a job in that amount of time regardless of the number of slaves they put to the task. I'm personally inclined not to accept the 20-year period As even by almost modern stone masonry standards the Mormon temple in salt lake City was constructed by stonemasons from Scotland in about 40 years

Another flawless episode! This one touches a peculiar chord. I have long been interested in ancient Egypt. 20-odd years ago I even attended classes in order to learn how to read and translate Middle Egyptian. I was very much enjoying it and getting good enough, but had to drop it due to my main duties (I was completing my degree in Astronomy, a wholly other stuff). I still tell myself that one day I'll try again, but my routine keeps delaying me. Thanks for this lovely and informative trip to that distant world - I'd definitely like to see more. Every choice, though, is always fine.
Thank you, Simona!
Why does the fact that Egyptians really wanted this plain bread in the afterlife remind me of a kid who will only eat buttered pasta no matter what is available?
'Cause it's good
Now I want bread and buttered pasta...
🤣
A classic is a classic is a classic 😂
Oh, buttered pasta is THE BEST!!! I'm half Italian and my Italian relations could not understand the love my sister and brother and I had for butter and pasta and cold pizza or cold spaghetti with tomato sauce and meatballs and...yes, cold...Italian sausage for breakfast! The cold spaghetti was guaranteed to make my Mom and my Aunts shudder.
My dead soul wanting a snack is the most me thing I've ever heard.
Got an idea- historical halva. Honey and tahini. Mentioned in Herotodus! Also delicious.
Adding it to the list

"Picture this: you are dead"

I was today years old when I learned that when you died in Ancient Egypt, you didn't immediately just get to frolic off into your (disappointingly classist) afterlife, you had to come with a housewarming gift, an epic confessional, and be ready to threaten the hell out of your own heart so it couldn't squeal on you.
I believe that's where the saying "something weighing you down" comes from. As your heart would be physically weighed. If it is lighter than a feather then your heart was pure.
I knew about the heart scales and confessional and food bribing, but hearing about the heart spell was like finding out that there has been a cheat code the entire time
@@shards-of-glass-man Imagine not knowing about the spell, being insanely stressed out during your trial, and then meeting up with a new arrival years down the line who is like, “Good thing my heart didn’t get a chance to tell them about all that bread I stole! Now, where’s the nearest baker?”

@@CausticSpace what there is is evidence of THE EXACT OPPOSITE, evidence of the bible being fiction.
we have Greek, Roman, Egyptian and Persian writings, tablets, of every single year in ancient history, all of it contradicting what is written in the bible. we know every single ruler of Egypt, from Cleopatra all the way back to the scorpion king, and know what happened during their rule, we have extensive records of roman and Persian history, we have records made by ancient HISTORIANS. it is called HISTORY because it was recorded and we know about it, you can read what was written by people like Herodotus thousands of years in the past.
you have been brainwashed by the church, do some actual research if you want to know THE TRUTH, the knowledge is available on the internet, wikipedia would be a good start. If you don't want to learn facts you can take your blue pill and go back to your life of lies, it's up to you.

Proud Egyptian here, its really impressive how well researched this video is, and i apologize beforehand for not knowing much about your background but the way you laid all the information down was just beautiful,funny & interesting.
When I was 11, I went to Egypt and on our first stop with our family tour bus - we asked if we could put our suitcases in the undercarriage. When the driver opened the door, they were cooking flatbread in the compartment!! Needless to say, it was so hot they could cook bread on the bus (and tbh it was delicious) Love You Max!!
Since it came up a few times: I think we need an episode about Ancient Egyptian Beer ... can't let the red grain of the God Hapi go to waste ...
It’ll definitely happen
YES!
Yes please!
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.
Have to admit your storytelling techniques are simply superb. Everything from the dish to the stories around it. Bravo! One of the only channels I am actually looking forward for a new video. Thank you Max Miller, this is Great!
Thank you!
I would absolutely love to see more everyday food of ancient Egypt.
Me too!!!
Bread, beef, and beer were all every-day staples.
Some foods that are still commonly eaten in Egypt today which go back to ancient times:
Mashed fava beans AKA ful medammes (فول مدمس)
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.
“It’s kinda like they had an entire cuisine...” and I wanna see you cover ALL OF IT. Okay. All of it that’s practical. Please. And thank you.

Dang, how does he do all this research? He knew almost as much as I learned from 3 semesters of Ancient Egyptian History during college.
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.

Ancient Egypt is my favorite ancient civilization.

I would love more episodes on this civilization. Thanks!

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.
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.
Is that why sumo wrestlers exist? Also we can’t know if all Egyptians were overweight and had diabetes at that time.
This seems more like the carb loading that the modern day sports men do too. If you wanna get fat...the easiest way is to eat fat with those carbs. Coz the vegans eat the same stuff just without the fat and they are not exacly known to be big, strong and with dad bod lol.
Everyone else is focusing on the "Picture this: You are Dead" but honestly I really think the comedic highlight of the episode was the comedic reading Max did with the spell telling the heart to shut up and not say anything.
Agreed.
I made the bread with the sourdough starter and found it to be wonderful; I’ll be making more of it. Thanks!
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.
WOW! I never knew that! Thanks for sharing
I heard about that bit of graffiti in an audiobook about ancient Egypt, and it mentioned that this foreman had his own tomb in her tomb complex, which may be evidence that he was her lover. That's so cool that you actually saw it!
Yes!!! Make more ancient Egyptian recipes and “The Mummy” references, please! (I wanted to be an Egyptologist or a librarian as a kid, Evie is my idol!)

This reminds me of my middle school world history teacher. He *loved* Egyptian history (as did I). He would always get so excited at that time of the year teaching all this stuff to his kids. Even after I left his class, the History channel had an Egyptian history week and I excitedly caught him in the hall every day asking if he'd seen what the program the night before!

Fun fact a Persian army used cats to prevent the Egyptians from attacking them. It worked, and the Egyptians lost the battle. The Battle of Pelusium of 525 BCE. This engagement was the decisive clash between the Pharaoh Psametik III (526-525 BCE) and the Persian king Cambyses II (525-522 BCE) resulting in the first Persian conquest of Egypt.

Well, that's to be expected. Theirs is a civilization that spanned over two thousand years, from before the pyramid builders to the Ptolemies. You can go to parts of this world that have been stable for two hundred years and get drift in that cuisine. The same flavors will be present but modified by technology or assimilation of others.
"Picture this: you are dead"
Oh god that sounds so relaxing.
You should do a whole episode on the terrible wartime and recession baking recipes from like the civil war, Great Depression, ww1 and ww2
Actually I was introduced to one or two things from the Depression, and one was actually pretty good, in my view: hard boiled eggs sliced into gravy -- the kind of gravy you would put sausage into, and serve it over toast. Season it just right and it's very filling and delicious. 😁
THESE are the recipes I'm here for. The older the cooler. Also: I wonder if it's possible to recreate ancient beer... (and like an idiot, I typed this before getting to the end of the video. Also meat. Maybe Ancient Egyptian crocodile recipe. :>)
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.
@@likealightning4139 They did sometimes use bread to make beer, yeah. I know also that the typical commoner's beer was less a straight drink, and more a slurry which you used a straw to sip the liquid out of.
I just think it's really interesting the way a lot of what we eat now has evolved and changed and has been refined over the centuries but there are some things that are just tried and true.
@@0neDoomedSpaceMarine or you just embraced the chunks ^^. There‘s a reason beer had a reputation as liquid bread. 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.
@@0neDoomedSpaceMarine Beer slurry? Eww. Needs rebranding - calling it a beer smoothie sounds more appealing (or less gross, at least!).

The A. Egyptian diet was honestly ludicrously bad for your teeth: Not only was there a lot of grit in the bread, but many bread types were sticky and doughey and stuck in your teeth, their beer was basicaly fermented bread-soup, and sweet figs was a common snack. Being a dentist in A. Egypt would have been a lucrative business is all I'm saying.
And if you wanna be horrified, just look up ancient egyptian dentistry. Makes modern dentistry/orthodontistry less...scary.
@@erinfinn2273is that even possible I stil fond modern dentistry to be sadistic
@@V77710 yes, but we have pain medications. They didn't.

>Also me- I have got to learn how to make ancient Egyptian bread
Imagine you're just simply very bad at learning by heart so you forget about half of your spells, and everybody just assumes you have done all the atrocities! Also yes, keep the bread videos coming! I would like to see either the boiled or the spiral bread
I'm loving your videos on ancient Egyptian recipes, and appreciate all the extra cultural and religious content. More please! ❤
