Bread appeared more than 65438+4000 years ago. It can be said that bread is a very important food. It is the staple food of many people. In difficult times, many people test it to survive. Bread is a long-standing food. According to foreign media reports, its history may be longer than you think. It is said that the oldest bread in the world can be traced back to 14000 years ago.
Archaeologists have long discovered the birth texture of this food. It is said to be a Stone Age site in the Middle East. This food may have been born from 14000 to 15500 years ago. Probably one of the special foods originally used for nutrition. It marks the progress of a social form and can be said to be of great significance.
In fact, researchers have found traces of starch grains on the millstone 30,000 years ago, but this does not mean that human beings have made bread. The latest discovery is that an archaeologist found an archaeological site, Shubayqa 1 4,400 years old, in the black desert area of Jordan, in which obvious traces of making bread were found.
Shubayqa 1 site is believed to belong to Natufen, a hunter-gatherer, and consists of two buildings, each with a stone fireplace. During the three years from 20 12 to 20 15, after excavation, it was found that burnt food still existed in these fireplaces. The researchers analyzed with scanning electron microscope and found that these tiny scorch marks should be left when making bread.
Making bread is actually a very complicated thing. It has to go through many processes such as shelling, grinding, kneading and baking. Bread, a kind of food, should belong to a very special era in such a long time. The discovery of this ancient bread provides value for archaeological research. It is said that the same researcher is studying bread making and other parts of human diet in this transitional period to determine whether bread promotes the cultivation of plants.
