A team of scientists made a savory discovery during their dig at the Oc Eo archaeological complex. Ancient evidence of a perennial love of curry, as well as the slovenly laziness of teenagers, emerged with the uncovering of a sandstone dinner plate featuring fossilized remains of the popular Asian dish gathered from under what the researchers determined was a bed belonging to an adolescent male from the time of Christ. “It was an utter delight and surprise,” remarked Stephen Banh, postdoctoral fellow at Vietnam National University, “I would have never thought we would recover intact samples such as these.” Analysis revealed a variety of spices, including turmeric, ginger, fingerroot, sand ginger, galangal, clove, nutmeg, and cinnamon, all of which are common ingredients in curries today. The bedroom also featured a half dozen unmatched socks as well as a chore list only partially checked off. “I wasn’t shocked in the least,” stated Tabitha Nguyen, research associate Hanoi University of Science and Technology, and mother of three, “my skills as an archaeological expert have frequently come in handy when unearthing items from my son’s room. I once found a drinking glass with beverage residue from the Liu Song Dynasty (AD 420-479) under his gym shorts.” Curry is a popular dish in the east, believed to have originated in India in ancient times, while teenagers are incredibly sloppy worldwide, with notoriety for their failure to return flatware, dinnerware, and glassware dating back to hieroglyphs in Egypt wherein Tutankhamen was recorded as leaving a golden chalice on a bedroom table for over three years.
