Get this, wine and beer might actually be as old as like 8000 BC. There was even a cult that worshiped the stuff predating the greek pantheon, and it's hypothesized that Dionysus may have been a supreme god of a different religion before the greeks adopted him.

'Another'? I was under the impression that pharaohs committed uncounted riches and man-hours to a single pyramid in their honor. I wanna learn about this philanthropic god-king financing more than one pyramid.
