The Lagash Lounge

In 2023, an Italo-American archaeological group introduced their discovery of a 5,000-year-old tavern in Lagash, an historical city-state capital in southern Iraq. A cuneiform pill discovered among the many ruins carried a recipe for beer, which the group believed to be the bar’s hottest beverage, even exceeding water. Photographs of the positioning confirmed piles of damaged pottery "mugs" strewn about. The Lagash Lounge will need to have held a heck of a celebration the night time it closed down.
