Moon in Virgo or Shahrivar شهریور ♍ – Ahuramazdan Engineering

Iran, 1600 years ago. Iranians, in Sasanian times, mastered piping networks 1600 years ago. Here shown is in the city of Borujerd.

Many vessels, featured rhytons, with a wide mouth at the top, and a hole through a conical constriction at the bottom, from which the fluid ran. The idea is that one scooped wine or water, from a storage vessel or similar source, held it up, unstoppered the hole with one’s thumb, and let the fluid run into the mouth (or onto the ground in libation), in the same way that wine is drunk from a wineskin today.
