Scientists believe they have made a fascinating discovery which reveals some hidden detail about the diet of Neanderthals around 70,000 years ago. They have unearthed remains of what is believed to be the world's oldest flatbread made by Neanderthals in the foothills of Iraq. The charred remnants were recovered from the Shanidar Cave site - a Neanderthal dwelling around 500 miles north of Baghdad. The archaeologists said the findings, published in the journal Antiquity, show for the first time that bread was part of the diet among these hominid species....

I just woke up (and not wearing glasses yet; that's my excuse and I'm not changing it)

When I saw the headline, I read, "Scientists unearth 70,000 year old flatbed" ~ (like a flatbed truck)

I was thinking wtf!? lol 🤣

Can’t get any more stale than that…

Wrap it in a wet paper towel and micro wave it for 10 seconds.. It will be fine.

We occasionally go to our local “Day Old Bread Store”, a bakery outlet store where they sell leftover breads and cakes they remove from grocery stores.

This could be a 70,000 year Old Bread Store................

Interesting that it was right in the middle of a Glacial period.

I see the antiscience/new earthers crew had to try and destroy this thread with class clownsmanship. I think they can smell them coming even before they are posted...

A little scorched, but with enough butter, that will be just fine.

Recipe:

1. Gather wild wheat seeds.

2. Smash with rocks.

3. Add some water.

4. Heat on flat rock until hard.

5. Eat..................

[Openurmind]

Yeah... Pretty simple concept.

[SunkenCiv]

I wuz thinkin’, maybe it started out as regular bread, and the accumulated soil over 70K years flattened it out...

They hadn’t discovered ‘yeast’ yet....................

You forgot the garnish.
