That is very interesting.

It certainly makes sense that ancient Egyptians would need antibiotics, given a grain heavy diet that would have messed up their immune systems.

I read this earlier today and made a mental note to share with everyone when I got off work.

Thanks for saving me the time and posting it earlier, cool stuff!
