Fermentation is just what happens when you accidentally leave stuff in a container that limits oxygen. It’s easy to make alcohol my accident. Then there’s also the fact than we don’t know how well connected the world was before writing. We know farming developed independently from studies of soil in lakes and whatnot but recipes are much harder to pin down as something invented independently.
Not sure about the swords part but the Aztecs didn’t any.

“Eww, this smells nasty and toxic… let’s drink/eat it” seems to be a common human trait.
More like “my honey went off but I really need those calories… Huh, this isn’t… Completely awful.”
The macuahuitl: “Am I a joke to you?”
You reminded me to check if dankprecolumbianmemes made it over to lemmy
Instead of a sword, the Aztecs invented the baseball bat with nails sticking out.
