Of cuneiform tablets and the remains of several vessels of more than 4000 years ago, do understand that the fermented juice of cereals was much liked by the inhabitants of Mesopotamia.
The cuneiform texts of 4000 years ago recorded a considerable influx of Emmer wheat, barley and malt beer but do not describe any process nor give recipes to produce beer, probably because those who read those tablets was perfectly aware of this process.
The bappir (Sumerian for “beer bread”) was not counted as Hotcakes, administrative texts, but it was counted in units of measurement such as barley Grist. A poem entitled “Hymn to Ninkasi” is one of the most important sources for the ancient art of brewing. This lyric is the old Babylonian period, around 1800 BC and is a mythological poem that enhances the production of beer.
