A team of archaeologists in Egypt have uncovered what is believed to be the world's oldest high-production brewery in the world, near the southern city of Sohag, an AFP report said.
Nearly 40 earthenware pots, placed in two rows and dates back, most likely, to the era of King Narmer, were uncovered from the site. According to Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities, the brewery had 8 large areas used as units for production of beer.
It may have been built here to supply brewed beverages for royal rituals, an archaeologist from New York University was quoted as saying. The brewery, reportedly made 22400 litres of beer at a time.
