Here, you dropped this….👑

What a video, the study of microorganisms is truly remarkable.

@TableWolfMusic (1/2) Whether people are able to recover from an infection is basically a numbers game: can your white blood cells multiply rapidly enough to eliminate the bacteria, or do the bacteria multiply so fast that they overwhelm your cells? The very few people who were able to survive black death did so because their bodies' responses to the infection were robust enough to overcome the numbers of microbes...

@TableWolfMusic (2/2) ...This means either that somehow they were able to produce more white blood cells to fight the bacteria, or the bacteria multiplied more slowly in those people and so never reached overwhelming numbers.

Thanks so much! Awesomee

Very recommendable

Woo hoo, combined version.

Beer came from Mesopotamia, not egypt. Also, where did they get the yeast that they used to make the first bread? From the air, naturally, by letting a lump of dough sit out overnight. The yeast in baked bread is dead. Unless raw dough was dropped into the first pot of accidental beer, they probably just let the first 'mash' sit in the air. They were eating a lot of porridges back then, which were just different grains, lentils, or seeds cooked in water. It's not difficult to imagine someone leaving a bowl of leftovers sitting out for couple of days. It would have started to fizz, and smell a bit different, but not bad. And if it didn't smell bad, and you were used to eating unrefrigerated food anyway, you would have just eaten it. It would have tasted like your familiar bowl of porridge but with a tangy, floral, umami flavor that would have warmed the belly. It probably happened several times, and fermentation would have been a way to safely make cooked food last longer. Someone decided they liked what was happening, and figured out how to recreate the process. Back then, they didn't really think of beer as a proper beverage yet. It was a pot of fermented porridge you could suck some of the liquid from. They didn't strain the mash, and like the video mentions, they used a long straw that they stuck down into the bottom of the pot where more of the liquid would collect. My friend is an assyriologist (mesopotamian archaeologist), and he told me a story once that some of his colleagues tried to replicate an authentic mesopotamian beer recipe based on the tools they found in an old 'brewery', as well as on various texts written on clay tablets. For instance, they knew the brewery was recieving shipments of barley, and they knew what their cooking pots looked like. What they ended up with was very different than what we think of as beer today, and supposedly it was pretty disgusting to their modern tastes. They said it was chunky.

Don't know why but whenever the light background music starts I keep thinking it will be walking on the sun by smash mouth

Cool video :D

Excellent Video. Thank you for sharing

It's unnecessary for bread to fall in to discover beer. Wild yeasts are everywhere in the air, all that would be required is wet grain and hope that the yeast can populate it fast enough to keep the bacteria at bay.

amazing i love it!

The best video!!

I miss Louis Pasteur, what about him?

amazing !

It's pretty disrespectful and not very smart to think that a piece of bread accidentally fall into a jar of forgotten socking grain and then when found, the guy who ran into it would be tempted to drink this bubbling mess? This is obviously not how the beer was invented but thanks for the interesting video anyways!

Plenty of animals get drunk off of fermented matter by accident. And humans are no different . While I agree that a piece of bread falling into a bag of wet grain is ridiculous, drinking from a bag of fermented grain by accident is not. In addition to the obvious reasons people drink , waterborne contagions were pretty common before public sanitation and any ancient human would jump on a water source that didn't make them sick. Alcohol sterilizes water which is more the reason to try to drink fermented grain water after one does by accident. 3000 years later and we have perfected it and only drink it for its taste and consciousness altering effects. Ultimately, people try to eat and drink odd things when there isn't a McDonald's around the corner.

fruits naturally ferment on the tree people have eaten them and gotten a buzz theres your start of alcohol its naturally occurring

It's pretty ironic, isn't it? Horrible as the plague epidemic was, there's a very good chance that, had it not happened, Europe - and Great Britain in particular - may well have never left the Feudal Age. Actually that'd be a pretty awesome set-up for an alternate universe type of story, a la the novel "Proteus Operation" or the TV shows Sliders or Dr. Who :)

Ever heard the story of the horse that ate the fermented apples & turned into a jackass?

They are wow I wish to visit one place

or it might be that mices and mites did not bte the 66 percent of the people. and those people are more hygienic.

it accidentally fell in? thats is sooooo stupid as if people didn't experiment, leave soaked grains out too long or do all sorts of stuff. this is such crap. knock it off it insults the inteligence of people across all time and space.

Beer wasn't first brewed in Egypt It was In Iraq by the ancient Mesopotamians. So was the straw. The first straw ever invented to drink beer was by the Mesopotamians, It was a golden straw. Why are they teaching wrong history??

Yeah, I don't even think Egyptians were writing yet 6000 years ago, like the video says. 6000 years is about the time when the earliest writing was being invented, period, which happened in Mesopotamia
