What you can expect

Discover the revelry of our ancestors who partied like it was 5000 BCE! Witness the early drinking vessels that expose the secrets of ancient Greek drinking games, and the libation served at a banquet thrown by King Midas. 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 drink samples from ancient vessels and revived some of these potent “time capsules” through chemical analysis.
