Quinquereme Of Nineveh

   
Feel the heat of the Middle Eastern sun beating down on the rooftops of ancient Ninevah, see the haze rise off the river Tigris, watch the sweat pouring from the muscular oarsmen who row the quinquireme carrying its cargo of exotic fruits and spices to the capital of the Assyrian Empire. Bathe in cool waters which irrigate the calm, verdant palace gardens and wash with a soap made from the finest of those fruits, spices and exotic oils brought at great expense and danger from far off lands. Picture this, then imagine that we made that soap with the milk from fresh coconuts, sweet vanilla absolute from the seedpods of a rare orchid (it was very rare in the 7th century BC), refreshing orange oil from China (likewise) and calming benzoin from the spice islands of Java and Sumatra. The bad news is that Ninevah was invaded in 612 BC and was never the same again. The good news is that the soap is real.
