Drinking beer through a long straw in an ancient tradition that continues today throughout Africa. Funerary stela from el-Amarna (ca 1350 B>C) showing an Egyptian man, sporting a Semitic-style beard, quaffing his brew through a drinking tube, aided by a servant boy. The cup in the latter’s hand might have been used to dispense a special ingredient or hallucinogen, such as essene of blue lotus. Photography courtesy of J. Liepe, Agyptisches Museum, Staatlich Museen zu Berlin, Bildarchiv Preussischer Kulturbesitz/Art Resource Ny # 14,122
