Chicha is a traditional beverage of Latin America, found mainly in the Andes and Amazon, and it is most often made from fermented maize. Its classic form, chicha de jora, is made by malting maize, boiling it into a sweet mash and letting wild yeasts ferment it. Other versions use quinoa, manioc, palm fruit, rice or potato, and there are many regional variations. In the Inca Empire chicha had ceremonial and ritual roles, and it remains central to communal gatherings and celebrations today.

Israeli reports also say the cabinet directed the military to prepare for a possible new attack on Iran.

Angkor, near Siem Reap in northern Cambodia, was the capital of the Khmer Empire, which ruled much of mainland Southeast Asia between roughly the 9th and 15th centuries. At its height the city spread across about 3,000 square kilometres, making it the largest pre-industrial city on Earth by area. Its growth depended on water: huge reservoirs called barays, along with canals and embankments, stored monsoon rain and carried it to rice fields. That system let farmers harvest more than once a year and fed a very large population through the dry season. The temple complex of Angkor Wat, built in the early 12th century, is the best-known monument and still stands at the heart of the park.
