HOME BREWING
s,BEGAN IN EGYPT
Pharaoh Subjects Invent.
ed Art of Hoodwinking
Revenue Agents.

Home brewing fourished in
Egypt during the Fifth Dynasty, ac-
cording to information received at
the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
The news was slightly delayed in
transmission, the world war having
been the most recent obstacle to
getting the knowledge to the Amer
leans of this day and age.
Beer-making is known to have
been going on in Egypt during the
Fourth Dynasty. kings of which are
also credited with having inauRur-
ated the pyramid and sphinx indus
try. Psychologists apparently have
no information whether the Fourth
Dynasty Pharaohs permitted the
beverage to be made in breweries
or merely at home.
But the news just received from
the next group of rulers. the Fifth
Dynasty. definitely establishes that
during their regimes. which eN-
tended from about 2750 to 1885 b. c..
the brew was being made by the
housewives in the homes.
The Metropolitan Museum of Ar,
is holding its fiftieth anniversary
celebration and new collections OF
art works and archaeological dis
CONeTIeS are on ulSpldN. among the
most important additions to the
museums collections are the results
of the excavations in Egypt during
the period of the world war. They
could not be shipped TO this country
until after the war had ended.
Occupying place of honor at the
entrance to the room set aside by
the museum for the new Egyptian
discoveries is a statuette of a
woman engaged in the art of max
ing beer. Parts of the arms and
feet had to be restored after she
was dug up. but in the main the
figure is just as the sculptors made
it 1900 years ago, in their effort
to make brewing an imperishab
science. The woman is shown with
mortar and pestle. No hieroglyphic
recipes accompany the statuette.
