Amber is a fly's urn, a bead that is small of room but more rich than Cleopatra's tomb.

Microbiologist Raul Cano, whose work helped inspire Jurassic Park, successfully revived yeast that had been trapped in amber for 25 million years. He then used the ancient yeast to make beer.

Amber is a sepulchre of flies and spiders more durable than the monument and embalming of the body of any king.
