For any history geeks like myself >>> Massive Byzantine-era winery discovered in Israel

Near a soccer pitch and a suburban neighborhood in central Israel, archaeologists say they discovered the world's largest known Byzantine-era winery.
The winery, dating back 1,500 years, is believed to have produced one of the finest white wines of the Mediterranean at the time. It was widely praised in Byzantine-era literature and known as vinum Gazetum or Gaza wine because it was exported from the ancient port city near modern-day Gaza.
Archeologists found a large complex of five winepresses, four large warehouses where the wine was aged, kilns where the clay wine jugs were fired, and tens of thousands of broken pieces of jugs.
They estimate the winery produced between two to three million liters of wine a year.
"The proportions here are incredible," said Elie Haddad, an Israel Antiquities Authority archaeologist who co-directed the two-year dig on the outskirts of Yavne, south of Tel Aviv. Archaeologists were called in to survey the area before an overpass is built there.
Each winepress found covers an area of about 2,400 square feet. Around the treading floor, where grapes were crushed by foot, were compartments for fermenting the wine and large octagonal vats that collected .
The dig also unearthed even more ancient wine presses about 2,300 years old, pointing to a longstanding tradition of winemaking in the area. The Talmud speaks of the "vineyard of Yavne" where Jewish religious sages gathered after the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D.
The ancient cosmopolitan city of Yavne was home to a patchwork of Jews, Samaritans, Christians and others. Who operated the winery is unknown, but archaeologists say the large, intricate conch-shell decorations suggest the owners were wealthy.
The archaeologists even found several, completely intact, slender clay amphorae where the wine was aged and stored for export.
The same kind of long clay jugs have also been discovered in the Gaza Strip, where they are displayed in a museum — testifying to a time when Gaza was not a blockaded area of conflict but rather a bustling portal to the ancient world.

did you see the 13,000 year old footprints they found at white sands?
I did … I don’t think we as humans discovered alcohol 13,000 years ago …. probably were munching on psychedelic mushrooms though
That 1500 year old winery was a real warehouse operation … probably put all the little craft brewers out of work

beer and bread were discovered around the same time and were basically how modern civilization got started...that was at least 10,000 years ago...and there's plenty of other critters who get drunk off fermented fruits and the like,no reason early humans wouldn't have tried it themselves
unclefishstick didn’t go because I dont like the vending but this past weekend was again another harvest fest & the cannabis cup winning strain was called “Jerry Berry” … lol damn deadheads …
Cheers to beer & bread … the cradle of civilization :yay: ( & cannabis of course )
i guess naming a strain "hotdogs and heroin" would be too close to the mark for deadheads!
57 degrees? Hazardous?
Must be California, that’s sweater weather here.

i think that means it's a dust storm where he is,491 would be the pollution/particle index number,anything over 50 is considered unhealthy
Visibility was only 1/4 mile in some parts.
i'm guessing thats the front that's hitting us right now....windy as fuck today
Yeah well my grow room has a 491 on the trichome index.
So much shiny I need to squint.
mornin campers...yup,it's as dusty as a deadheads feet today don't think i'm going anywhere today,pretty frickin windy out...could be a good day to cheat strava segments,nothing like a 30mph tailwind to get those speeds up! of course riding into a 30mph headwind is miserable and noisy...but when you turn around and start moving at the wind speed it gets really quiet...plenty of garden chores to deal with...need to up-pot a bunch of stuff today....the spice must flow!
Indoor room could use a bit more attention lately. Too much trimming from the outdoor has me preoccupied. These pics are rainbow beltz, sour jack, ice pie, runtz, og/chem x headbanger, blueberry muffin f9 and biscotti pancakes. All different ages. 3 plants per light (mostly) in 15 gallons of soil each
