Researchers with the Sanmenxia Archaeology Institute in Central China's Henan Province announced the discovery of the intact grave on May 21. Tests are now being carried out to determine what the liquid is.

When in doubt about a 'brown' substance... Go with the obvious.

Probably getting ahead of the game for the warrior’s first day in his new life. The best part of waking up is Folger’s in your urn.

“a 2,000-year-old swan-shaped bronze vessel”

Could we say it was his swan song?

“More than 3 litres of mysterious, brownish liquid was poured out from a hole”

How in the hell do you do that?

the 2,000-year-old brown mystery liquid found in ancient Chinese tomb

For some odd reason, this week is shaping up to be a busy posting week for "2,000".

The Antikythera mechanism is a 2,000-year-old computer

[kythera = hidden; cf. Sethur = "hidden" and cithara = "harp" (pertains to a sound box e.g. of a guitar/kithara/zither, the hidden chamber is the cavity --> grotto/krypto)]

In the case of the ugly brown mystery fluid it was hidden in a [Chinese] swan.

Hidden underground chambers unearthed near Israel's Western Wall The 2,000-year-old chambers...

Then there's...

United States of America [ארצות הברית של אמריקה] = 2000

And "The hope of 2000 years to be a free nation in our land".

Even the Torah begins with "2000" -- written as the letter bet, which is a house:

Chinese tomb

And because the adjective Chinese (sini) is spelled the same as Sinai, a "Chinese" tomb is kever Sinai so to speak, the place the Exodus generation died out and was buried over the course of 40 years.

"Chinese virus": וירוס סיני

= 412 = "house" [בית], which is the letter bet.

Full circle. So there ya go. Never boring. :)

I never liked that stuff. Give me a good English stout (when I still did partake of such imbibements).

Give it to Mikey! He'll eat anything!

The original ad was "Give it to Mikey! He hates everything!" Obviously Mikey is NOT a Chinaman!

That is what’s left of the ancient Chinese in a bottle.

Or bat soup.

It’s probably the same stuff they found in the “black” Egyptian sarcophagus a few years ago.

https://www.history.com/news/sarcophagus-mummies-ancient-egypt-sewage

Thousands of people were volunteering to drink it, thinking it might imbue them with magical powers.

When tested, it turned out the mummies were stewing in sewage.

Problem is that no matter what they say you can not believe them.

If they give you a sample of what they claim to have found how can you trust that it really is what they say it is?

How do we know that they even found anything or are they lying?
