Researchers
think the ancient Egyptians were the first to farm garlic; the little bulbs
helped power the building of the great pyramids. Hard working slaves received a
ration of garlic each day to improve their strength and ward off illness. And a
mere 15 pounds of this ancient currency would buy a healthy male slave to add
to the pyramid building team. It seems fitting that garlic, natural wonder with
many healing and culinary properties, played a role in the creation of one of
the wonders of the ancient world.
Ancient
Egyptians bestowed many sacred qualities upon garlic. They believed it kept
away evil spirits, so they buried garlic shape lumps of clay with dead
pharaohs. Archaeologists found preserved bulbs of garlic scattered around King
Tut's tomb millennia after his burial.
