Tobacco traces found in Mayan flask proves race did smoke

Smoking pot: This Mayan flask from around 700AD has been proved to have contained tobacco [url=www.cigarettesno1.com]Buy Cigarettes Online[/url], matching the hieroglyh on the front which translates roughly as 'House of his/her tobacco'

While the flask is likely to have stored tobacco leaves [url=www.smokingsaleusa.com]Cheapest Marlboro Cigarettes Free Shipping[/url], the Maya also ground tobacco into a powder from which they could make a powerful alcoholic drink, snort like snuff or even use as snake repellent [url=www.wholesaleusacigs.com]Newport Menthol Cigarettes[/url].

'This was very strong tobacco, much stronger than it is today,' Jennifer Loughmiller-Newman, an archaeologist at the University of Albany in New York, told MSNBC.

'Nicotiana rustica was nearly hallucinogenic.'

'Investigation of food items consumed

by ancient people offers insight into the traditions and customs of a

particular civilization,' said Loughmiller-Newman.

'Textual

evidence written on pottery is often an indicator of contents or of an

intended purpose; however, actual usage of a container could be altered

or falsely represented.'

While

there has been pictorial and textual evidence that the Maya smoked

tobacco in large pipes or early cigars, this is the first time it has

been proved with chemical evidence.

Doing

so before has been so difficult because ancient vessels often contain

traces of other substances that can mask its original purpose, such as

iron oxide, which was used for burial rituals.

The research, published in Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, was led by Loughmiller-Newman and Dmitri Zagorevski, a biochemist at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute [url=www.usasmokingsale.com]Cigarette Tobacco For Sale Online[/url].

The pair analyzed samples from the flask, which is now part of the Library of Congress' Kislak Collection [url=www.ctdonut.com/marlboro]Cheap Cigarettes[/url], using gas-chromatography mass spectrometry and liquid-chromatography mass spectrometry [url=www.cigscoupons.com]Marlboro Cigarettes Website[/url].
