Ndio hapo. Wanakuaga kutokana na tabia ulizokuwa nazo. Kama ulikuwa ni mtu wa pombe na sigara ndio hivyo....
To most people the idea of “
pouring one out” in regards to the act of pouring a small amount of some manner of alcoholic beverage onto the ground in remembrance of one’s dead homies is a pop-culture phenomenon, but it turns out that the practice’s origins can be traced basically as far back as recorded history.
Noted as being one of the oldest known human customs, pouring one out, or libations as it’s more accurately known, is a ritualistic practice h
umans have been doing for at least 5000 years. Virtually indistinct from its modern equivalent, the key difference between historic libations and modern ones is that the earliest known group to do this, the ancient Egyptians (generally) didn’t pour out alcohol in reverence of their fallen kin and friends, but instead commonly poured out water- thought to be because of its rejuvenating power and its association with life giving.
This said, Ancient Egyptians were known on occasion to pour out other liquids in memory of the dead including things like milk, honey and, occasionally, wine and other spirits.
Whatever they were tipping, the general practice was to pour out a bit of the drink, imbibe the rest, and break the containers the drink was in on the ground, leaving the remains behind.
