['Civ's note: the feminazi moron writer of this screed is lying. NO, she wasn't the first pharaoh of ancient Egypt, and NO she wasn't the predecessor of the MUCH MUCH later Hatshepsut, except insofar as she MAY HAVE been a pharaoh briefly who lived thosands of years before Hatshepust did]

5000-year-old wine jars in the tomb of Queen Meret-Neith in Abydos during the excavation. The jars are in their original context and some of them are still sealed.

Her tomb includes the tombs of 41 courtiers and servants who coincidentally died at the same time yet this somehow disproves human sacrifice?

"5,000-year-old wine..."

Wow! And I thought 150-year-old cognac was smooth.

From the article:

” Meret-Neith may have been the first female pharaoh”.

first pharaoh of ancient Egypt and predecessor of the later Queen Hatshepsut.

It looks like Meret-Neith was a heavy drinker....

Abydos? Isn’t that where the stargate was found?
