Ancient Egyptian Pottery Contains 2,600-Year-Old Cheese
Archaeologists find 2,600-year-old-cheese inside ancient Egyptian tomb

- The cheese originated between 688 and 525 B.C., during the 26th and 27th dynasties.
In an old tomb in Egypt, archaeologists found numerous blocks of white cheese that were older than 2,600 years.According to accounts, the team discovered three Halloumi moulds within clay jars at the Saqqara necropolis that were inscribed with Demotic script.
The team unearthed numerous other containers that will shortly be opened in addition to the clay pots with cheese.
According to Dr. Mustafa Waziri, the expedition's leader, the Secretary General of the Supreme Council of Archeology stated that ancient Egyptians called Halloumi cheese "Haram." However, during the Coptic era, the name was changed to "Haloum," which later became "Halloumu cheese."
It is quite shocking to learn that the oldest cheese discovered to date is not the cheese from the clay pots at the Saqqara necropolis. Back in 2018, archaeologists discovered a "solidified whitish substance" in Ptahmes' tomb.
