Diet, Nutrition and SupplementationPost here for supplement reviews or nutritional advice. If you're trying to get "ripped abz" THIS is where you should be.
Some students from the Kelsey Museum put together a pretty cool exhibit and website looking at the nutrition of ancient civilizations.
I find it fascinating how ethnic food today is very similar to how it was in the same area after people started farming. E.g., wheat and baley in Egypt, and olives and pasta in Italy.
So if they fished from a lake, were there issues of under-populated fish? I have no idea how big the civilization or the lake were... but the thought of providing a society's protein source from a single lake... just wondering the details. (Perhaps they ate so little of the fish that it didn't matter?)
Between 1980 and 1990, Lake Qarun produced an average of 956 tonnes of fish and shrimps annually, of which 40% was Tilapia sp. and 36% shrimps.

I took a history course this past year that focused on the Ancient Near East. Some interesting stuff, though I was surprised to hear from the prof. that 99.9% of the programs on television on the ancient world are largely inacurate. Interesting to see what some civilizations eating habits were like. The prof. also made an arguement that agriculture played a heavy role in influencing ancient peoples outlook on life.
