10 Prehistoric Narcotics That Destroyed Entire Civilizations
Number 10: Fermented Fruit Alcohol. You are crouched at the mouth of a limestone cave in what will one day be called the Zagros Mountains of northwestern Iran, and the year is approximately 7,000 BCE. The air around you is thick with the rotting sweetness of overripe wild figs and dates that have pooled in a natural stone depression after weeks of seasonal rain. Something in that pooled liquid has changed, shifted, transformed into something no human hand deliberately created.
