[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 1916546, member: 2189"] How was grain stored in ancient Egypt? From "Ancient Egyptian Materials and Technology" Cambridge University Press. [URL='https://books.google.com/books?id=Vj7A9jJrZP0C&pg=PA528&lpg=PA528&dq=egyptian+grain+temples&source=bl&ots=zt03kexJJv&sig=zCh1sfSF__h56_1PAdJnfPNPEXo&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CDUQ6AEwBWoVChMIx8eXnLGByQIVzOwmCh1AGQIF#v=onepage&q=egyptian%20grain%20temples&friend=false'][COLOR=#ff0000][B]See pages 527 & 528 on Grain Storage.[/B][/COLOR][/URL] Also researching the various Egyptian grain gods, their temples and even cities built to honor them offers a clue to the importance of grain to ancient Egyptian culture. The Egyptian god Osiris even had a sacred meal dedicated to his worship made of bread and a barley beer. This sacred meal was a forerunner of the Christian Last Supper or what is called communion and also not unlike the meal dedicated to the greek wine god Dionysus which again was a forerunner to the Christian example. There were many others such as the Persian Mithra that would become the Roman god Mithras which was a contemporary rival to Christianity during the first few centuries CE in Roman provinces. Constantine seemed to have decided the victor but serious question remain if the Christianity we have is a melting pot of beliefs shaped into a dying/rising demigod used more for the purpose of political power than a betterment of mankind.
