2,400-year-old ‘bongs’ used by kings to smoke cannabis and opium are dug up in Russia [View all]
Two ‘bongs’ which were used by tribal chiefs to get high have been discovered in Russia.
But rather than the cheap plastic things teenagers buy down the market, these bongs are made of solid gold.
Archaeologists found thick black residue in the bongs, and determined that they were used to smoke cannabis and opium in a ceremonial setting.
It is thought the impressive implements belonged to the Scythians, a nomadic warrior race who ruled large swathes of Europe and Asia between the 9th century BC and the 4th century AD.
