Researcher Sam Kean explores ancient Egyptian beer

Author Sam Kean investigates the daily lives of ancient people in his book "Geschichte zum Anfassen".

Kean uses experimental archaeology to recreate historical experiences, such as the taste of beer in ancient Egypt. He examines how Roman women maintained tall hairstyles and investigates the tattoos on Ötzi, a well known preserved mummy. The book also explores whether the oldest known beds were uncomfortable for those who used them.
