Ancient Documentation of Winemaking

Recently, I was reading "Practical Viticulture", a book written by D. P. Pongrácz and published in 1978. At the same time, I was trying to augment my understanding of plants by reading the textbook "Biology of Plants" written by Peter Raven, Ray Evert, and Susan Eichhorn, and left by one of my daughters from her college days. I was struck by a photo that appeared in both books and took it as a sign that I should blog about it.

"Practical Viticulture" gives the following caption: Harvesting and wine-making in Ancient Egypt. From the tomb of Nakht, Thebes, XVIII dynasty 1420-1411 B.C. From Hegedüs et al.¹
"The Biology of Plants" gives the following caption: An example of anaerobic glycolysis. Ancient Egyptian wall paintings, such as the one shown here, are the earliest historical record of wine-making. They have been dated to about 5000 years ago.²
The tomb of Nakht was found by European explorers in 1889, but its existence was known to the local inhabitants of Qurna Village, situated on the West Bank of the Nile near the city of Luxor. Norman de Garis Davies and his wife Nina were instrumental in documenting the findings by taking tracings of the tomb, work done for the Metropolitan Museum of Art and published in 1917.
It boggles my mind to think that the steps involved in winemaking is clearly shown in this scene which was found in the tomb of the Egyptian official named Nahkt and his wife, Tawy. I can relate to the hand harvesting and the stomping of the grapes, which we did in our previous two harvests in 2015 and 2016. Crossing fingers, if all goes well, we will have many more pounds of grapes to harvest this year which brings it's own dilemma.
