In the mid-'90s I read about a group that found 2,000 year old water lily seeds and grew them successfully. This was in China, IIRC.

I'm more impressed with the guys who brew beer from ancient Egyptian recipes.

Tut & Common would be a good brand name.

I like it! The IPA could be Hop-shetsut.

They found some 2000 year old seeds of the Judean Date Palm which went extinct around 150 AD and now they are growing it again.
