The
brewery, which had a production capacity of 22,400 liters, was split
into eight sections each containing 40 clay pots used to warm mixtures
of grain and water.

are keen to show off newly discovered artifacts as they try to revive
visitor numbers after Egypt's tourism industry received a painful blow
during the coronavirus pandemic.
The number of tourists visiting the country dropped to 3.5 million last year from 13.1 million in 2019.
