Scientists have discovered sealed jars of wine from 5,000 years
ago in an Egyptian queen’s tomb.

According to SWNS, the British news, the find, one of the oldest
ever, was among the "grave goods" for Queen Meret-Neith in
Abydos, from 3,000 BC.

The University of Vienna researchers say she was the most
powerful woman in the period and possibly the first female
pharaoh of
Ancient Egypt.
