A fun article on Egyptian Ayahuasca. The emphasis on Acacia Nilotica in particular being the founding of all major religions may be stretched, but otherwise is still an interesting article.

Thank you for the info and article.. it is fascinating to see the Egyptians interest and possible use in such a peculiar one.. or an adoration so to speak. The identification of DMT and other tryptamines seems highly variable here.. the article states that the plant contains DMT when it may or may not at different times of the year.

"One ublished report of DMT in the leaf[5] may derive from a misreading of a paper that found no DMT in leaves of this species.[6] Later analysis tentatively found 5-MeO-DMT in stems, leaves and roots; DMT, NMT and 5-MeO-DMT were tentatively observed in seeds, but follow-up tests were negative.[7][51] Bark contains unidentified alkaloids[52] Bark in one sample subsequently found to contain an alkaloid which has an Rf value suggesting DMT.."
