Hi  Joey

I  stand  (humbly)  corrected !

So let's  "blame  the   Egyptians  for  the  early  beer  brewing  in the land  of  Israel ! *

Cheers

Peter

* You   say  'blame'   and  'beer'   as  if it's   a  negative  thing !

PS :  I  just finished  reading  the  most  amazing  book:  "T. Rex  and  the  Crater  of  Doom"  by    Walter  Alvarez.    The  subject  matter  is  something  I have  followed  in detail  for  the  past  20 -odd  years : the  great  "KT  extinction"  about  65  million  years  ago   due  to a  Mount  Everest - sized  meteor  which  hit the  gulf  of  Mexico.  Had it  not  been  for that  passing meteor our whole  earth  would  still be   run  by  clod-hopping  dinosaurs (or  whatever  they  evolved  into  -  even  bigger  T  Rexes ? )
And there  would  certainly  be  no  humans  and  CERTAINLY  no   snuff bottles
