Archaeologists unearth ancient bread that survived underground for 5k years


A rare 5,000-year-old bread loaf was recently found in Turkey's Eskisehir province. Preserved by burning, it's now recreated by bakers using ancient grains.

Anna Prezio, a 73-year-old Italian-born California woman who has made a name for herself with social media videos showing her cooking her native country's cuisine, tells Fox News Digital what bread she's making for her son. Murat Türkteki, archaeologist and director of the excavation, told Agence France-Presse (AFP) that ancient bread is a "rare find," per Turkish Minute, a local outlet. Last September, researchers found ancient kefir cheese from Tarim Basin mummies dating back 3,500 years in western China.
