Honey is a pure food. It doesn’t deteriorate over time. Unless it is contaminated by something from outside, it doesn’t spoil.

3,000 years - that’s nothing. I’ve got woodware in some of my colonies older than that.

When a new fossil is found in a layer of rock, it's considered equivalent to experimental proof for the Theory of Evolution.

When they find something like a 3000-year-old beehive in the land of milk and honey, it's ... well ... mildly interesting, but ... YAWN ... it's just a beehive.

The Bible refers to ancient Israel as the "land flowing with milk and honey,"

MANNA-LINK.

The chinese called this time the Valley of Obscurity and the Somber Residence; the Nordics called it the Twilight of the Gods. According to the Annals of Cuauhtitlan there was darkness in Mexico for twenty-five years. The American Indians say that it was not until the fifteenth year that plants would bloom. And for the Hebrew tribes, who had been led out of bondage by the pillar of smoke by day and of fire by night, this was the Shadow of Death.

How did mankind live when nothing grew? The tail of a comet is composed of carbon and hydrogen gases, and these elements were in suspension in the earth’s atmosphere after the comet departed. The Hindu Vedas, the egyptian papyri, and the Hebrew legends say that the wind smelled sweet, and eventually the carbohydrates combining in the air precipitated. mankind fed on morning dew, say the Icelandic traditions, and the Vedas tell of the honey-lash falling - as the Greeks say ambrosia all fell - from the clouds. Where the honey-frost fell on the waters, it turned them milky and sweet. Ovid, the Vedas, and the Egyptians say the rivers flowed with milk and honey. The precipitate also fell among the Israelites, they called it Manna.
