Florida professor finds evidence that ancient Egyptians drank hallucinogenic cocktails

A professor at the University of South Florida (USF) analyzed a 2,000-year-old Egyptian mug and discovered that the ancient object once held a psychedelic concoction used in a magical ritual. 

The mug studied was an Egyptian Bes mug donated to the Tampa Museum of Art in 1984. The mug is one of few still in existence. 

Research into the rare mug began in 2021, USF professor Davide Tanasi told Fox News Digital via email.
