The reconstruction, measuring approximately 3.4 m by 4 m, consists of three vat seats. Its design resembles a three leaf clover surrounded by a wall reaching up to 60 centimeters. The vat seats are separated by low narrow walls and are stabilised by a clay base surrounded by a broken clay ring.

"This solution improved air circulation and helped to maintain stable temperature. In order to support the vessel, such a base was usually surrounded by two concentric rows of bricks of a D-shaped cross section," explains Ms Karolina Rosińska-Balik, the author of the reconstruction.

The three dimensional reconstruction of a brewery was prepared in three stages. Firstly, linear drawings, which help to grasp objects in their initial forms, were prepared. This stage also involved the digitalisation of the original drawings, which served as a starting point for creating a three dimensional reconstruction of a brewery. Secondly, the building material was reconstructed. As Ms Rosińska-Balik explains, the brewery was built of three kinds of fired bricks made of mud and straw (also known as fire-dog bricks).

Thirdly, single bricks were laboriously arranged into walls. In order to make the structure more clear the author decided to present only some walls in their original sizes and to reconstruct only one vat in full.
The remaining vat seats were presented in various stages of construction, which allowed to display all the construction details. At this stage of the project, the model was combined with specially prepared representations of the materials, in order to add more realism to the reconstruction. Finally, shots of the structure from various points of view were taken.

For ages beer was a staple drink in Egypt. The list of grave goods dating back to the Third Dynasty is the oldest record mentioning beer. The excavations show, however, that the beer tradition is even older.

The oldest known brewery was discovered at Hierakonpolis site (also in Egypt), which is associated with Naqada culture. The breweries discovered by Poles served Lower Egyptian people.

The 15-year-long excavations at Tell el-Farkha site have been led by the Polish Archaeological Expedition to the Eastern Nile Delta under the supervision of Professor Krzysztof Ciałowicz from the JU Institute of Archeology and Dr Marek Chłodnicki from the Museum of Archaeology in Poznań. The settlement existed here for 1000 years (approximately 3700 – 2700 B.C.). It evolved from a strong centre of Lower Egyptian culture into an important centre of power in the time of the united Egyptian state formation. 

Among the most precious finds of Polish archeologists are: gold figures probably presenting a ruler and his son, temple deposit containing high quality ivory human figures, cylindrical stamps, stone, bone, flint, copper and gold artifacts.
