The seeds of the plant produce high quantities of the alkaloids harmine and harmaline, which induce 'dream-like visions', the team say. One of the plants used as a cocktail ingredient was Peganum harmala, more commonly known as Syrian rue, native to the Mediterranean basin. They identified 'key proteins and metabolites' enabling the identification of botanical sources, confirmed by genetic sequences. The team used multiple analytical methods including spectroscopy, genetic techniques and sampling of proteins and molecules to reveal more about what was once contained in the vase. It was said to be found in the Fayum district, a region south of Cairo known for its fertility and the abundance of plant and animal life in Ancient Egypt. The Bes-vase analysed for this study originated in the second century BC and is part of the collection at the Tampa Museum of Art in Florida.

'These findings contribute to our understanding of ancient belief systems, cultural practices, and the utilization of natural resources, ultimately enhancing our knowledge of past societies and their connection to the natural world.' 'As the Bes figure was revered as a protective genius, it might be assumed that the liquid drunk from these mugs was considered beneficent. 'We successfully identified the presence of various nutraceutical, psychotropic, medicinal, and biological substances, shedding light on the diverse components of a liquid concoction used for ritual practices in Ptolemaic Egypt,' Greco and colleagues say. The research was conducted by an international team of academics led by Enrico Greco, an expert in environmental chemistry at the University of Trieste in Italy.

It's unclear if this bizarre drinking ritual linked to the cult of Bes was widespread in Ancient Egypt – but this could be the subject of future study. It's thought the drinkers worshipped the strange deity Bes, believed to protect women and children, specifically during labour.
