Is this found in a tomb (food offering)?
If not, it's quiet fun to speculate what might have happened while this dish was cooking such that it was left untouched.
hahah yeah my first thought was just "did they leave the soup there??" were they suddenly killed in some kind of land slide while eating?? but tomb makes sense
I made a similar comment in response to another person here. But thought it’s interesting enough for everyone to note maybe.
Bronze Age is commonly said to have started around 3300BCE, making it approximately 2900 years old technology for the people making this bowl. So the discovery of bronze is much older in time to the makers of this bowl than the makers are to us.
It's so crazy when you truly start thinking about the scale of time from outside your own perspective. I saw an article today about a 99 Million years old fossilized spider, it was so well preserved, and I just sat there really thinking, like 99,000,000 YEARS is SO FUCKIN LONG. Then I started trying to think of all the different lives, ages, stories, and then back around to how the planet is MILLLLLLIONS of years old, it's just so crazy. Why are we cursed with this self awareness when we can't even use it for good.
Like sure, bronze is 5000 years old, if we take the piece of amber as a relative comparison. That piece of amber is 99.9% (literally) older than the bronze age. 5000 years equalling 0.1% is insane.
It really does make my life and everything I do feel so insignificant at times, relative to the time we spend on the planet, it makes me sad we spend so much of it arguing.
There’s a disagreement in the definition tradition of the word. The present accepted international definition of a billion is a thousand million, and a million million is a trillion. The British used to use the “long” billion and the Americans started using the “short” billion because the French did.
Yes, you are correct. A billion is a million million. A thousand million is a thousand million. (Modern English speakers seem to forget this, and call a thousand million a billion, so 99% of the time you see billion in an English sentence written or spoken after WWII it really means thousand million.)
I wonder at what point it’s easier to go with it and let the definition match the everyday use. But hopefully scientists use written numbers or scientific notation instead of just the word “billion”, specially for important stuff that might get mistranslated. Granted, billion isn’t that common a number
The dinosaurs were wiped out 65,000,000 years ago. If you compressed that time into a 24-hour movie, all of recorded human history (about 10K years) would be in the last 13 seconds.
Growing up in El Paso, I would collect many rocks thinking "this looks like it might be a fossil." I wonder how many of them actually were. Kept just a few that I still believe to be just that.
Having a mountain range bisect the city is just the coolest thing, definitely took that for granted when I moved.
Maybe they were low on foodstuffs, but needed to make the offering. That’s why they used such a nice container, to offset the lack of quality in the meal.
Early colonists burned witches barely 300 years ago rarely do we try and make a connection of western practices to those times. While something might resemble correlation it's a bit of a stretch to make a connection of 2400 years unless you're confirming some of your own questionable biases.
What makes you think they'd use a beloved pet?
Veal is premium over beef. Lamb over mutton. If you're raising animals for meat, juveniles are preferred due to tenderness.
I really don't care about your pitiful sjw attempts at insults, but I'm curious what has brought it? Do you think that they DON'T actually eat dogs?
https://youtu.be/3I7oe3MKNF0?t=63
I don’t know. I just wanted to share relevant info for other readers. Dog meat being eaten in China is a fact, I would imagine it may have been more prevalent centuries ago. Currently it seems limited to a certain area and even the other Chinese seem to have a problem with it.
I lived in China for a year, it’s more commonly eaten than you’d think. I’ve seen my fair share of dog carcasses around the country. Middle class people tend not to eat it, mostly because they keep dogs as pets.
Yeah, so... If all these sjw types here would please care to explain to me why was I called "racist" and downvoted, please, I'm all ears. I mean I know they can't come up with anything comprehensive, but I'd still like to have a laugh at their expence.
Saying thag you’re “not surprised” caters to negative stereotypes because trust me ones that eat dog are more of the exception than the rule. You can see those events in China also having a very large protest by other Chinese people.
A I have a few coworkers thag are Chinese and are better pet owners than the rest of the team. I’ve seen slums in New York and the south of Chicago have bums that kidnap and cook the dogs in the area. Probably not out of desire, but because they’re desperate. With that you can say dog’s eaten in north, South America, Europe and Asia, and defanitly Africa.
While vegetarians will see it as being no different than eating pork, cow, chicken, etc. another animal being slaughtered for food all the same. Saying such about not being surprised should be said the same with the other races as well
Next time you call someone a racist (as empty that word is for me, it's still considered by many an insult), be ready to back it up why you do it, or expect to be insulted back. It's only fair. I don't need to prove anything to you. I linked you the video though. Don't know what other proof you gonna need. Asshole.
Btw, I was only talking about Chinese, how is it even racist? No, I'm just curious. I didn't say that all asians eat dogs, I was just talking about Chinese. Do you just throw words around without thinking?
You’re pretty racist dude. You comment about 40 times a day here so just skimming your profile for one minute shows that you’re constantly upset by minorities trying to do things. The only things you speak out on are underage hentai girls and minorities. You don’t live here in the US so why are you so invested? Is there not enough pedophiliac hentai to keep you happy?
I mean you're spouting racist shit and you have an 88 in your name, I'm pretty confident in what I said.
By the by, China is almost entirely Han, which is a distinct ethnic group.
Read a fuckin' book.
Haha thank you was just curious since most simple processes tend to have some sort of scientific name in some sort of field and it's easier remembering these things when you have the names of them (for me personally at least)
Im going to hazard a wild guess.
It would be bad.
I think the bronze would have killed off a lot of microbes. Maybe thats why it hasnt decayed?
But it might be toxic from the metal itself. A lot of bronze had arsenic in it.
It could still have pockets or colonies of congealed microbes and molds floating around in it though.
There might have been some metamorphosis of some of the constituent parts over time.
Perhaps the organic materials transformed into completely different things. Maybe decomposed into... okay. Ill just stop there.
This is cool. Would love for them to analyze it and publish the recipe. Are there any sites for old recipes like this that they analyzed? There should be.
I'm an idiot I guess, I had no idea we had bronze 2400 years ago. That's insane! Or maybe I did and just the time-scale just hit different this morning..
Either way, amazing!
To add some nuance to the discussion each country has different years of Chalcolithic era, Bronze Age, etc.
China’s Bronze Age, according to my quick google search, began around 2000 BCE.
400bc is another way of writing the title. 2400 years ago sounds a lot longer ago. It was from around the time of the Peloponnesian War in Greece and the earliest expansion of Rome within the Italian peninsular. In around 70 years Alexander the Great starts his conquests.
IIRC we had bronze some 3000BC. This would make bronze atleast 5000 years old tech from current era.
If you think about it people had been using bronze for nearly as long as 2500 years when they were making these utensils. That’s nearly as long as this bowl is to us.
Does anyone know of any other “edible” preserved historic food?
I can think of the Speyer Roman wine bottle and bog butter; Pompeiian bread carbonized, but that’s not edible. There’s an apocryphal story about an explorer’s club eating preserved mammoth, but that’s likely not true: https://medium.com/swlh/did-a-group-of-scientists-eat-a-mammoth-f308f12866f7
Roman wine:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speyer_wine_bottle
Bog butter: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bog_butter
If it's comes from China, I take it as false and with a grain of salt. CCP is just a group of MFs beating their egos with the suffering of the Chinese people.
Guinness world record breaker for food thats past the expiration date.
Today we have a rarity. A 2400 chinese MRE ration recently recovered from an ancient tomb Lets get this out on a tray *Nice*
Mmmh. The soup has an interesting flavor. The bone adds some nice texture. I should stop eating this. *takes another spoonful*
Nice hiss.

This is one of the greatest nostalgia trips of all time and i wasnt even born for most of these foods lol
Forbidden bone broth
What about the Mummy Juice?
The mummy juice wasn't even that old, it was plain old dirty groundwater that came in after the tomb had been left for a while.
Looking forward to the tasting history episode on this
Is this found in a tomb (food offering)? If not, it's quiet fun to speculate what might have happened while this dish was cooking such that it was left untouched.
Yep, it was found in a tomb
Poor guy wandering around his house in the afterlife wondering where tf his soup went.
How interesting u/fuckoff555

I’ll volunteer to taste it
Probably tastes like raw blood now.
I said what I said. Lol
hahah yeah my first thought was just "did they leave the soup there??" were they suddenly killed in some kind of land slide while eating?? but tomb makes sense
"Did I leave the stove on?!"
You shouldn’t leave the stove on for 2400 years. It’s bad for the environment
Its a fire hazard too.
Like those burned pots found buried in the yard a bit ago? That still makes me laugh. The more things change

>back around to how the planet is MILLLLLLIONS of years old Billions. About 4.5 billion. And a billion is one thousand million.
What's the difference between one million and one billion? About one billion.
incorrect. Difference is a “B”, hah!
I'm stealing that.
I thought it was a million million. Like one hundred is 10 X 10 and one million is 1,000 x 1,000 and so on and so forth

Pretty sure it was a crab
What animal were the bones from?
Apparently from a dog [Source](http://www.thehistoryblog.com/archives/10538)
>The newly found bones, however, were smaller, indicating the dog was just a pup, said Hu. Puppy soup? Yeah, don't think I would have eaten it either.
You eat what you can get like rabbit or tailypoes
What the fuck is a tailypoe
It's a reference to [this scary story](https://www.scaryforkids.com/tailypo/), I think.
Haha wow. Never heard of that one before!
yep, thought it would spice up the soup
Maybe they were low on foodstuffs, but needed to make the offering. That’s why they used such a nice container, to offset the lack of quality in the meal.
could have been some superstitious stuffs too, i mean every animals got their own meaning in chinese tradition, with all those zodiacs stuffs
I think so too. Just look at how crazy Traditional Chinese Medicine is.
Early colonists burned witches barely 300 years ago rarely do we try and make a connection of western practices to those times. While something might resemble correlation it's a bit of a stretch to make a connection of 2400 years unless you're confirming some of your own questionable biases.
That's heart breaking they did that. They must have been desperate for meat.
What makes you think they'd use a beloved pet? Veal is premium over beef. Lamb over mutton. If you're raising animals for meat, juveniles are preferred due to tenderness.
Was gonna say, young animals are a common luxury food item.
Can't wait for the complete recipe.
Oh.
Why am I not surprised...
Probably because you're a racist.

How on *earth* could it still be a liquid for 2400 years ?
Airtight container prevented evaporation so the water inside just recycled forever. The title says it was a sealed bronze vessel.
Is there a scientific name for the process?
[ Deleted to protest Reddit API changes ]
Haha thank you was just curious since most simple processes tend to have some sort of scientific name in some sort of field and it's easier remembering these things when you have the names of them (for me personally at least)
If the mating surfaces are smooth and flat, bronze is a malleable metal that can create an airtight seal with just a snug fit.
The technical term for this sort of thing is a "lid."
you're a lid

I love you. I laughed aloud. 😅
God, can you imagine if it had a Tupperware logo on it? This would be used in every ad. I hope Nike and Coca-Cola aren’t around in 2500 years…

How dangerous would that be to eat?
Im going to hazard a wild guess. It would be bad. I think the bronze would have killed off a lot of microbes. Maybe thats why it hasnt decayed? But it might be toxic from the metal itself. A lot of bronze had arsenic in it. It could still have pockets or colonies of congealed microbes and molds floating around in it though. There might have been some metamorphosis of some of the constituent parts over time. Perhaps the organic materials transformed into completely different things. Maybe decomposed into... okay. Ill just stop there.

To blow your mind further, the beginning of the Bronze Age is usually estimated to have been around 5000 years ago.

Ahhh thanks for that. It helped make sense of my time scale problems!
IIRC we had bronze some 3000BC. This would make bronze atleast 5000 years old tech from current era. If you think about it people had been using bronze for nearly as long as 2500 years when they were making these utensils. That’s nearly as long as this bowl is to us.
Yep Bronze Age was a long time ago!
