Israeli researchers have unveiled a "breakthrough" beer made from ancient yeast up to 5,000 years old. 以色列研究人员推出了一款“突破性”啤酒，而这款啤酒是用5000多年前的古老酵母制成的。 Researchers from the Antiquities Authority and three Israeli universities extracted six strains of the yeast from old pottery discovered in the Holy Land. 古物管理局以及三所以色列大学的研究人员从圣地发现的旧陶器中提取出六株酵母菌。 It is believed to be similar to beverages enjoyed by the Pharaohs of ancient Egypt. 人们认为，这款啤酒与古埃及法老享用的饮料相似。 The team said it hoped to make the drink available in shops one day. 该团队表示，希望有朝一日可以在商店里买到这种饮料。 "I remember that when we first brought out the beer we sat around the table and drank... and I said either we'll be good or we'll all be dead in five minutes," said Aren Maeir, an archaeologist with Bar-Ilan University. "We lived to tell the story". “我记得，当我们第一次产出啤酒来，我们坐在桌子周围喝酒……我说，五分钟之后，我们也许都好好的，也许都死了，”以色列巴伊兰大学的考古学家艾伦·梅埃尔说道。“我们活下来了，来给大家讲这个故事。” In the region's past, beer was a basic commodity - like bread - enjoyed by the entire population, regardless of status or age. Since there was always a risk of contamination with water, fermented beer and wine were considered much safer to drink. |
