My first trip to Israel was in 1990 (in fact, I landed on the day that Iraq invaded Kuwait - it was an interesting, and sonic-boom filled, trip). Anyway, just outside the Jaffa Gate leading into the Old City of Jerusalem was a pit about 20 feet deep. It was fenced off, and marked as an archeological dig. I leaned over and found, to my surprise, that my ancestors also drank Coca Cola. Imagine, we even have similar tastes - since then I’ve felt a much closer kinship to the ancient Israelites!

I had an anthropology professor who said that archeologists hundreds of years from now would put great weight on the world-wide distribution of Coca Cola bottles. It’s strange in a way, that something that was ubiquitous in the 40s and 50s is seldom seen now, but I bet the landfills are rich with them.

It is sort of a secret that Coca-Cola is really an ancient Israelite invention, as you discovered with all those bottles at an archeological site. But there are those who say in the Israelites got Coca-Cola from the Phoenicians. lol.
