...Ninkasi, you are the one who pours out the filtered beer of the collector vat,

It is (like) the onrush of the Tigris and the Euphrates.

Hello! The lines above are from a brilliant Assyrian hymn to the Goddess of the brewing process: Ninkasi. Also a good set of instructions on how to make beer!

Aside from beer, there are many other inventions that Sumerians are credited with. But there is not enough time in my lifetime to write everything about Mesopotamian food!

From Sumerians, to Akkadians to Assyrians and Babylonians, we're talking about civilizations and empires that lasted roughly four thousand years.

More time has elapsed from the first cuneiform clay tablet in 3200BCE -when writing was invented- till the last tablet around 1st century AD, than from the last until today.

What were their recipes? How do we know? And what about their food production systems and first documented agricultural practises?

Enjoy!
