I think Black Pepper also used to be used mainly by Nobility Sultans or High Priests. Amazing how much we take for granted in today’s world. Forks have their own separate history as well.

The second potato vessel is not a potatoe, it's a Jerusalem artichoke tuber.

New research, however, has shown that our understanding of New World potato consumption is biased by the fact the starchy vegetable is nearly always consumed in its entirety.

Who got the grant money to figure that one out?

Some Moche religious practices even involved ritual human sacrifice.

Notice how they try to soft pedal the human sacrifice component.

Human sacrifice is an abomination to the entire idea of the sanctity of life and the idea that people are valuable and have rights by the nature of their being.

Human sacrifice is essentially what the left does and sanctions, only their god is the state.

Someone apparently realized that the flaw in the study is that potatoes are usually totally consumed. Especially in times of famine.

Otherwise, we’d have artifacts of potato necklaces held together by golden chains. And every Irishman would claim to be a descendant of kings.
