After all one century's magic is another century's science. We cannot leave ancient scriptures aside. I don't think our ancients were idiots. Not everything can be ignored as irrational and mere myths. I agree that most of the facts mentioned in scriptures are still a puzzle to modern scientists. There are still lot of things in this world beyond science and things that science is unable to answer.
Taking your point into consideration coming to this context. Do you have a scientific proof to say that honey never gets contaminated even after 3000 years?
Wikipedia is not a good source to refer to. If you have pure reference material, please share. And all the information provided matters only when honey is preserved well. I don't believe honey can last longer when exposed to air and water. It may be true that honey can last longer than other food items but not without proper preservation.
I know...Im here not to argue with you.. The reference you made to ancient sculptures seemed irrational..Let's agree to dissent(Not with the spoiling of honey)
Thanks for the dissent and thanks for your un-vote. :) And by the way, I didn't make reference to any ancient sculpture. You keep your ideology with you and I will keep my ideology with me. Thanks for stopping by. :-)
@bala41288 - what @sathyasankar said is correct as sugar concentrate by virtue of being that is kind of immune to bacteria/enzymes which ultimately cause things to go bad. So Honey can virtually remain edible even after long period of time.
However - Just because something is edible does not necessarily mean that it is palatable by a human.
Also @sathyasankar- please find some link to reference stuff from our old scriptures -
I don't think that is true. Ancient scriptures say we should not be using fresh as well as old honey. Both are not good for health.
Leave ancient scriptures aside..most of them are irrational and mere myths...results obtained from scientific experiments that matters!
