If walls could talk... this medieval alley in Figeac would have so much to say. Pilgrims, knights, merchants, and Vikings once passed through this historic town. (c.838 AD), France.

We've always known that ancient humans drank alcohol, but this is a cool new discovery! Researchers found residue in Bronze Age vessels in western China pointing to a beer-like drink from ~3,000 years ago

The fun part is the details: - Starch, plant microfossils and fungi in 42 vessels suggest a thick, unfiltered, mildly sweet-sour brew - Millet, rice, wheat, barleyā€¦ and a "qu" style starter using red mold (Monascus) which is not what you'd expect in that highland region

The first ever translation of Beowulf into another language was done by GrĆ­mur JĆ³nsson Thorkelin in 1815. It was severely delayed when the Royal Navy shelled Copenhagen in 1807 and destroyed his library. Here are the first couple lines. For being the very first, it's not bad!
