ancient Egyptian inventions

Ancient Egyptian Inventions
one of the ancient Egyptian inventions was wine because they believed the wine was good for them. the wine was made by grapes that had been spoiled and fermented creating fermented grape juice.

there was much different wine pressing way the main one they used was the bag were the grapes were pressed and squeezed witch was done with pols witch would turn in the opposite direction to each other they then placed a vat beneath the bag to collect the juice. another popular wine press was the foot press witch is when the workers usually men with their bare feet would crush and stomp on the grapes. 
they would support themselves by using ropes attached to the roof. some men were tall so that they could receive the juice on its way down the pipe that was connected to the strainer or the column.

 the juice would then be collected and stored for fermentation. once it was fully fermented it was then placed into amphorae and left to sit. sometimes the liquid would be heated by the fire and sometimes the sitting prosses would go for years to be completed.  they stored the wine in jars with a type of resin in the amphorae, this would help coat and protect the inside of the jars. this was believed not only to seal the jars and preserve the wine but it was thought that the coating with resin would also help with the flavor of the wine it's self.
