Party In The Bronze Age.

Party In the Bronze Age.

One day Dr. Wetbrain yelled at sleeping Harold, “I have a history lesson for you!”. He never woke up. So, the Doctor. babbled on anyways.

The Bronze Age started about 2300 BC, Harold. And ended near 800 BC when the Iron Age began. Over 2000 years ago near the end of the Bronze Age to strike against the end of this era thousands of people from hundreds of different groups traveled 100s of miles to gather for a huge feast party. Looks like all the partiers brought livestock for the big feast.

All the livestock in tow had 2 important purposes. To carry gallons and gallons of wine and beer in jars for hundreds of miles. Also to be used as tasty meal for the feast. So many people with livestock, wine, beer and mead were at this festive feast. The band of party goers accumulated in Britain from countries such as Egypt, Iraq, Mesopotamia, Pakistan, China and India.

Sure, a lot of alcohol was drunk, but all the livestock devoured produced huge piles of bones, skin and other stuff. On the British landscape these now mounds are called Middens. 6 Middens were found so far. One of these Middens is the size of 5 football fields with 15 million bone fragments. So, you know a lot of jars of wine and beer were brought. And alot of fun was had by all.

Dr. Wetbrain knew Harold was awake and listening to this history of a party. He had one eye open.
