It is said that the cheese was degraded and was not in a state to be eaten, but people who want to eat this cheese certainly have appeared one after another on Twitter, which is a hot topic.

The tomb where cheese was discovered was discovered in Sakkara in southern part of Cairo in Egypt in 1885 and then it was rediscovered in 2010 though it became obsolete because it was buried in the sandstorm. This tomb, BC 13 century Ramses II is said to be those of officials Putahimesu who served in.

A team led by Mr. Enrico Greco, archaeologist at the University of Catania, investigated this tomb, and found several pot-covered pots. One of them turned out to be filled with white substances. The excavated white substance is the image below.



When Mr. Greco investigated the white matter contained in this jar, it turned out that it was about 3200-300 years ago cheese. Because it is too old, it is unknown which cheese of this cow, goat, sheep was made. The survey revealed that the cheese was contaminated with bacteria "Brucella melitensis" causing brucellosis .


Meanwhile, following the discovery of "the world's oldest cheese", there are a lot of people who appeal to eat a bite at Twitter.


"Let's eat a bite of the world's oldest cheese while gushing like a dog blowing a foam from the mouth with fours up! Legislate cheese tasting!"


"We have already opened a cursed coffin, it is no longer the case even if you eat the oldest cheese in the world"


This time is not the first time that people who wish to "want to eat the excavated items in Egypt" will continue. Three mummies decomposed in red sewage were found in the black sarcophagus discovered during construction in Alexandria, Egypt in July 2018, but for some reason I wanted to drink this red sewage A number of people appeared. In addition, on the online signature site change.org , signatures that "I want to drink the red water of the cursed sarcophagus with carbonated water" are gathered, and more than 32,000 people have gathered at the time of article creation.

And, receiving the report of the "world's oldest cheese", some people tweet that "I want to enjoy the world's oldest cheese with red sewage".


However, in the survey it has been found that the cheese has been contaminated with bacteria "Brucella melitensis" causing brucellosis that may have been cultured as biological warfare, aside from whether or not curses really exist, in the worst case It leads to death.
