LEARN ABOUT THE GODDESS NINKASI - THE MOST POWERFUL SYMBOL OF THE BEER INDUSTRY

DO YOU KNOW THE ORIGIN OF BEER?

Beer, one of the oldest beverages in the world, has been around for about 6000 years BC, recorded in the historical documents of the Mesopotamia region. The oldest known documents of the Sumerians also mention beer. A famous example is the "Hymn to Ninkasi," a prayer to the goddess Ninkasi, which was used not only as a form of worship but also as a means to memorize the beer-making recipe in a culture where few could read and write.

"The Hymn to Ninkasi" is a Sumerian hymn written around 3900 to 3100 BC, dedicated to Ninkasi, the goddess of beer and barley in Sumerian culture. Besides being a hymn praising beer, it also serves as a specific guide on how to make beer in Sumerian society. This poem is considered a valuable document on the history of beer production and consumption in ancient times.

GODDESS NINKASI

The first recorded mention of beer - "The Hymn to Ninkasi" - has been discovered. The hymn not only praises the goddess but also provides a beer-making formula from barley and brewing techniques. In a context where society relied on it, beer production was a unique profession in ancient Mesopotamia, and people turned to the beer goddess for protection and assistance.

In Sumerian mythology, Ninkasi is often depicted as a female deity who creates beer and barley, and she is also considered the treasure of the god Enki, the deity of water, creativity, and wisdom. Sumerian mythology often tells of how Ninkasi created beer from barley and water, providing humans with the knowledge and skills to produce and enjoy this beverage.

Ninkasi is a prime example of Sumerian mythology intertwining everyday life and religion, where gods are not only objects of worship but also seen as creative beings imparting knowledge to humans.
