An unusual substance found on the necklace of a 3,500-year-old mummy has rewritten part of human history.
Archaeologists say the bizarre jewellery is adorned with what is thought to be the world’s oldest cheese. It was found on a body entombed in an ancient burial site in Xinjiang in northwestern China.
Throughout history, humans have been buried with treasures and times of great cultural significance. And archaeologists say the Chinese “cheese necklaces” are a thrilling piece of ancient history that offers an insight into the region’s dairy-producing past during the Bronze Age.
Well, it started out as a milk necklace.
Time makes fools of us all
Or curds.
Why did cheese neclaces ever go out of fashion?
Edammed if I know.
Oh briehave
I mean, if you gave me the choice of a cheese necklace or one of those horrid candy necklace that just made your neck sticky, I’d take a cheese necklace every day. Be great for my drive.
I suppose if you can’t manage a pearl necklace, you can always give your mummy a cheese one.
It’s a well known biological fact that most women can indeed be placated with cheese.
GF or Wife mad? Make them Mac & Cheese. Don’t offer, don’t suggest. Just make it and give it to them.
That’s toddlers you’re thinking of
Toddlers will accept Kraft Mac and cheese. GF/Wife you better be making that shit from scratch. Except the elbow macaroni. That shit’s a pain to get to make properly.
Chin x Cheese = Chinese
eat it
But… Is it cake?
It menaces with spikes of cheese
Like the candy necklace of olden times
That sarcophagus is very roumy.
Could it be written by AI, or a fucking idiot:
Cheese necklaces, really interesting, really old. Ancient Chinese thing. Not unusual.
Cheese necklaces? No curiosity from the writer?
