Scientists have uncovered Bronze Age cuisine of Mongolian nomads, revealing the use of blood sausages and yak milk. Analysis of ancient cookware showed traces of sheep and goat blood along with yak milk. Greek soldiers tested the durability of the Dendra panoply, an armor used by the Mycenaeans 3,500 years ago, by consuming red wine and dry bread. University of Basel revealed that bronze cauldrons were utilized by Mongolian steppe inhabitants around 2,700 years ago for processing animal blood and milk.
