Old Kingdom Brought Down By Drought

Quote:"There were great riots, and anarchy breaking out as a result of it."

Historical records have suggested the region was hit by a drought spanning several decades, forcing people to extreme measures with some writings even suggesting people were forced to eat their own children.

This drought has now been confirmed by information collected by the St Andrews team, along with colleagues from the University of Aberystwyth.

Dr Bates said: "It was coming to the end of a particularly long period in the pharaohs and there is quite a good record that law and order was breaking down.

And not a fucking "Hebrew" in sight!
