Approximately 600 years in Athens going through 11 iterations versus approximately 250 years in USA going through 1 iteration. [Edit: @10:40 - I don't say this correctly when said "However, that recipe is gone..." It is not. The foul dish we now taste is not the fault of an absent recipe, but the fault of not following the instructions that are still there.]
