Scientists discovered a mix of psychedelic drugs, bodily fluids, flavoring agents and alcohol after they scraped the inside of an ancient Egyptian mug that may have been used for fertility rituals.

A 2,200-year-old ceramic drinking vessel has confirmed what archaeologists have long suspected: some ancient Egyptians were tripping on hallucinogens. For the first time, scientists have discovered the organic residue of psychedelic plants within an ancient Egyptian artifact,

A study recently published in the journal Scientific Reports presents an analysis of a 2,000-year-old Egyptian vase decorated with the head of Bes, an ancient Egyptian god associated with protection and fertility.

USF study uncovers hallucinogenic use in Egyptian rituals, highlighting the role of Bes mugs in ancient ceremonies.

Along with fruit-based alcohol, Egyptians flavored the drink with pine nuts, honey, and sesame seeds, while the addition of grapes and possibly licorice gave the liquid a blood-like hue. But additional chemical elements indicate the Bes mug’s contents weren’t just imitations of bodily fluids—they were a vital part of the drink itself.

How does a concoction of honey, sesame seeds, pine nuts, licorice, and grapes sound? The drink also contains hallucinogens and bodily fluids. It’s alcoholic, if that offers any consolation—and was once sipped from a head-shaped mug 2,000 years ago.
