The good old OLD days.

Archaeologists uncover 3,800-year-old recipe for beer

Archaeologists in Syria have found a 3,800-year-old recipe for beer.

The team of British, Belgian and Syrian researchers found the Babylonian instructions on clay tablets.

They found 92 of the tablets while digging in the north of the country.

Their writing style is known as cuneiform, which means wedge-shaped.

Abdel-Massih Baghdo, director of the Hassakeh Archaeological Department, says the tablets were in the 14th layer of Tell Shagher, a site just north of Hassakeh.

He says they show beer-making methods and give details of the quantities of beer produced and distributed in the region.

Hassakeh, 400 miles north-east of Damascus, is now known for its wheat production.
