The statement quoted Mostafa Waziri, secretary general of Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities, as saying that the ancient brewery probably dates back to the reign of King Narmer and is therefore believed to be “the most ancient and productive brewery in the world. The ancient brewery is believed to be “the oldest and most productive brewery in the world,” according to Mostafa Waziri.
According to the statement, Narmer founded the first Egyptian dynasty around 3100 B.C. and unified Upper and Lower Egypt, more than 5,000 years ago.
The statement also noted that British archaeologists identified a brewery in ancient Egypt in the early 20th century, but never found its exact location. Now a joint Egyptian-American archaeological team “has succeeded in locating it and discovering its internal composition.

The ancient brewery consisted of eight large brewing units 20 meters long and 2.5 meters wide, each containing about 40 earthenware containers in two rows that were used to heat a mixture of grain and water to produce beer, Waziri said.
The archaeological team was led by Matthew Adams, an archaeologist at New York University, and Deborah Vischak, a scholar at Princeton University. Adams said the study found that the ancient brewery had a huge output, brewing about 22,400 liters of beer at a Time.
