First Dynasty Egyptian Queen took some wine to the afterlife.

[gallienus1]

A truly remarkable excavation at Abydos has uncovered the tomb complex of a First Dynasty Queen named Meret-Neith. Dated at an incredibly remote 3,000 BC, Meret-Neith's tomb included a number of very large, sealed jars of wine. One reason for calling Meret-Neith's last resting place a tomb complex is because it also contains the tombs of 41 retainers and servants. Were they sacrificed on her death, or were they included in her tomb over time as they died naturally? It may be the latter, as the tombs were built in several construction phases and over a relatively long period of time.
