Advertising Free Credit Report Free Psychics Advertisement History of Wine: Egypt and Mesopotamia Egyptian Artifacts from 400bc In the story of mankind, wine has a long and distinguished history. Traces of wine were first found in Sumeria, the lower regions of Mesopotamia. Mesopotamia held the land between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, and is often called the "cradle of civilization". Wine is mentioned as far back as 2750BC, but existence of wine goes further - now dated at 5400BC. Sumeria as a nation existed from 2500BC - 1900BC. During this time, the people drank quite a bit of wine and beer. Often, the two were inbibed during the same meal or event. Sumerian wines were made from grapes and dates. In their culture, drunkeness was accepted - in their religious stories, even gods got drunk. Wine is also early in history of the ancient First Dynasty of Egypt (3100bc - 2890bc). Remnants of grapes were found dating to this period. Soon, pictures of wine making operations were used to decorate walls and palaces. There were two stages to making wine back then - the crushing for the free run, followed by pressing. A fermentation stage occurred between these two. The wine then went into amphorae - large pottery vessels with spouts, used for bulk storage and transportation. Amphorae were stoppered with cloth, leather, cork or fired clay, then sealed with mortar.

Advertising Free Credit Report Free Psychics Advertisement History of Wine: Egypt and Mesopotamia: Part 2 Egyptian Artifacts from 400bc Wine production became very organized over the years. Amphorae soon had marks indicating year, maker, source of vineyard, and other information. Wine was popular in higher social circles than beer was, and was used both at parties and for religious festivals. Tomb paintings included depictions of wine. Wines in Sumeria were classified by types and by 900BC rations were being given to soldiers and travellers. Wine was used for entertaining, medicinal and religious purposes. Wine was imported from other wine producing countries, often in earth jugs. Writings of the time speak of large, wooden barrels of wine being boated from one town to another. Amphorae Sumeria morphed into Persia, a great nation that grew larger and larger. Persia was also a wine country - salaries were sometimes paid in wine. Young workers did not get this kind of payment, but both men and women did. Women giving birth were given an extra bonus of wine, to encourage the creation of new workers. Herodotus commented that leaders would often reconsider an opinion made while drunk, but would conversely get drunk to reconsider an opinion made while sober!

Her name was originally Sarai, but was changed to Sarah when Abraham accepted circumcision. Sarah accompanied Abraham on his journeys (from Mesopotamia to Haran to Canaan), and helped him teach about the One God. She was childless for many years. She gave her handmaiden Hagar to Abraham so he could have children, and Hagar bore Ishmael. At the age of ninety, Sarah was told she would give birth and she laughed because she thought she was too old to have children. Sarah gave birth to Isaac (Yitzhak). Later Sarah drove Hagar and Ishmael away, saying "the son of this hand-maiden will not inherit together with my son, Yitzchak." (Bereshit 21:10) Abraham bought the Cave of Machpelah for a family grave, and Sarah was buried there.
