They had beer, bread, onions, fish, dates, leafy vegetables, melons, and maybe Snickers(tm) bars.

Wow, all that, and they say WE have progressed. I don't think they fed the Jews real well, in the land of Goshen, so I wonder how much of that food was given to the slaves. Now, if they needed help getting aircraft up and down, I could have helped them out :-)

They could've used it.

At the end of the Napoleonic wars, the winners executed by firing squad a couple of his field marshals, who were themselves allowed to give the order to fire. I though that was kind of neat. (Not that they were executed, though.)

:’) The Israelites built with brick; if they built pyramids (and there are rabbinical sources that say they did) then they were in the Fayoum where the Middle Kingdom pharaohs had their brick pyramids constructed. They are still there, but they aren’t as well preserved as the Giza pyramids. Lake Fayoum has risen and fallen over the millennia, but is still reliant for its water on the Canal of Joseph, which dates from the Middle Kingdom, and still attributed to Joseph.

I did the beer and bread study after the age of 40. It was serious culinary study including field work.

Egyptian beer, while mildly alcoholic, was thick. Not like Guinness thick... we're talking actual chunks, like grandma's boiled coffee.

I've made some. Once. The pig got most of it.

I have since eaten the pig. Scholarship is hungry work.

All of those blocks would leave one he!! of a hole somewhere nearby. Has anyone found where they were quarried? Very impressive feat given the construction methods of the time.

DC will be ass-deep in dung beetles.

Infestation emanating from K street. They are already over-run.

Food justice.

You feed the pig.

The pig feeds you.

Didn't Al Sharpton and his people build the pyramids while the white devils huddled in dark caves? I know I heard Big Al say something like that when he was more rotund. It might have been around the time he was inciting violence against the Jews?

When I read that they moved these stones use ‘dampened sand’ I just laughed.....Once again the folks trying to explain what they have no way of explaining just decide to go off on their own and come up with a theory they have no way of proving.

It is almost as much fun as listening to astronomers telling me about the light they have just seen that is evidence of something that happened 15 billion years ago.......

:’) Yeah, the Egyptians (and I think the Sumerians as well) made beer that was eaten more or less like soup, or rather gazpacho. :’(

I think they did. They claim the ancient Egyptians as their ancestors. The white devils stole all their technology.
