Originally Published 2 years ago — by Windows Central
A TikTok video has gone viral, revealing that Seamus Blackley, the creator of the Xbox console, also has a passion for baking. Blackley used yeast extracted from 4,500-year-old Egyptian pottery to bake his own unique sourdough bread. While the Xbox symbol bears a resemblance to sourdough bread, it was not inspired by it. The symbol actually originated from the name 'DirectX Box' and underwent various changes before settling on Xbox. Blackley's baking project, which involved studying ancient hieroglyphs to recreate the ancient recipe, aimed to produce an authentic ancient sourdough loaf.
