World's oldest cheese found on the chest of a 3,500-year-old mummy

you'd love this cheese... one of the best tasting and most expensive in the world.... made only from Donkey's milk... trust me, it's really good!

Looks like the Emmental

Oops sorry didn't read that you commented on it. I don't think they particularly mummified their wives with them. Servents and good luck charms they did to have future attendents in the afterlife. But the little I have read about it I know that there was cannibalism and a little bit of human sacrifice involved as well.

thy were very superstitious

Sure, but I want to take some marshmallows with me to the afterlife.

so dat i can still be found alive n healthy afta centuries like this cheeze was found while u wud be completely dead n vanished like mummies

That's true, I think the Achaemenid dynasty of Persia was among the first to pay labor a fair wage for their services. As far as jewels were concerned, based on what I know, the ancient Egyptians were concerned about tombs being robbed & I think King Tutankhamun was among the lucky ones whose burial ground was never disturbed.

The Pharaohs used to start building their tombs well before their deaths so you can imagine the kind of accessories that must have been founded there.

@Aamna14

Do you think we should make some human sacrifices to the Gods so that they help our country? (I am joking.)

Well another form of their human sacrifice used to involve killing criminals and prisoners of war so as far as the former is concerned why not

It's fine, & I might be mistaken about them burying their wives with them. Perhaps it was some other culture or perhaps wives just randomly popped up in my head in the list of humans that were buried alongside important individuals. Lol!

There was a lot of barbarity in the ancient world, & in contrast to that, Ancient Rome, Greece, Persia, et cetera were truly the light in a world full of darkness. In fact, the Romans actually believed that it was their job to civilize & bring justice & knowledge to the world.

Well the Pharaohs were obviously imperialistic and as superstitious as they clearly were, they had a staunch believe in the afterlife. So they used to build these huge tombs with all the basic necessities required for leading a life so that they don't fall short of any in their next. Obviously it wasn't restricted to the Pharaohs even their statesmen used to follow the ritual though obviously less lavishly than their rulers.
