Did you know that the world's oldest cheese was discovered in an Egyptian tomb and dates back over 3,000 years? It was found in the tomb of Ptahmes, a high-ranking official, and scientists believe it’s one of the oldest examples of cheese ever found. Despite its age, the cheese was still preserved relatively well due to the dry conditions of the tomb.
But I'm curious as to why the cheese was in an Egyptian tomb. Did ancient Egyptians have some kind of burial ritual that concerned cheese? 
Finding cheese from 3,000 years ago is like discovering a piece of ancient snack history!
