History can be viewed through many different lenses. Some believe that history is a long conversation about philosophy. Some believe it is focused on politics or wars between great characters featured throughout history. However, the Kitchen Survival Guide takes a bit of a different lens to the ancient civilizations: food. The history of food encompasses multiple aspects: philosophy, anthropology, sociology, politics, economics, resources, geography and a strong focus on culture. Ancient Egypt wasn't the first agrarian society, but it was by far one of the longest lasting ones and it has taught us a lot about food in ancient times. Without the preserved and mummified foods found in ancient tombs, we may have never learned as much as we have about their people, culture, health and politics. Food has been the one thing that links all humans, past and present throughout the entire course of history and is the basis of our current food cultures all around the world today.

On last week's episode of the Kitchen Survival Guide, we learned what our ancient ancestors ate as hunter gatherers, but how did we evolve to become modern societies that are so food-focused? Well, the first emergence of agricultural societies completely transformed humanity as we know it. The first recorded agricultural society appeared in the Fertile Crescent: a civilization called Mesopotamia, an Ancient Greek name meaning "the land between two rivers." It is here that culture, religion, food and government became forever engrained in our cultures and societies around the world.
