I can’t imagine an ancient yeast would taste much different than sourdough made from modern wheat, especially if you use the same grain the iceman had available back in his time like einkorn. You’d still end up with tangy sourdough

First, God sent the locusts. Americans voted them into office. So God came up with plan B: diarrhea.

I used to think b-rated sci-fi flicks had crappy plot hooks about how scientists would just release the world ending plot hook like that.

And then polish scientists released cannibal ants from an abandoned Soviet nuclear bunker to see what they’d do.

"Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."
