Modern food blogs wish they had this level of longevity. No popups, no ads, just stew!

A Babylonian stew prepared by Tasting History if anyone wants to try out an updated recipe:

and a Babylonian tuh'u specifically made for the New Year celebrations:

And just yesterday Max posted a video about assyrian pomegranate beer

Table of the Gods is a similar channel specifically about recipes of ancient Mesopotamia. Very neat stuff, some of which I believe comes from this very tablet.

All this content proudly and shamelessly lifted from the evil empire. 🙂

Three soaks and cooking in milk haven't brought good results. Not acidic, but adstringent. Acorn coffee isn't bad. It was too tempting to experiment with them as they sit right on my driveway and the equines would get too fat if they ate them. I'm not feral enough for them yet. Leather unfortunately needs a lot of moving about besides the soaking in tannines, as far as I know.

Well you know, when in doubt, always follow the specificities of Illuminated Manuscripts!

Just a community for everyone to share artifacts, reconstructions, or replicas for the historically-inclined to admire!

Generally, an artifact should be 100+ years old, but this is a flexible requirement if you find something rare and suitably linked to an era of history, not a strict rule. Anything over 100 is fair game regardless of rarity.
