[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Explorer: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Kalonji: [QUOTE] Many practices were ineffective or harmful. Michael D. Parkins says that 72% of 260 medical prescriptions in the Hearst Papyrus had no known curative elements,[8] and many contained animal dung which contains products of fermentation and molds, some of them having curative properties,[9] but also bacteria posing a grave threat of infection. Being unable to distinguish between the original infection and the unwholesome effects of the faeces treatment, they may have been impressed by the few cases when the patient's condition improved. [/QUOTE]In case someone doubts the feces example I posted earlier. Any responses after the Hearst Papyrus containing 72% ‘’non curative elements’’ noted above^ that still tries to argue for scientist in ancient Egypt will be ignored, unless you can provide flaws in how Michael D Parkins came to his conclusion. Kalonji [/QUOTE]Your logic is bankrupt. Nobody is implying that there were no flaws in their methodology. Heck, there are flaws in todays medicine as well. However, they did have "procedures" in treating people medically. They certainly had procedures for mummification. You have offered no evidence that suggests that this was anything but systematic, and attained from a learning about the human body. If one is to take Parkins claims at face value, then one would have to assume that the ancient Egyptians must have seen enough success rate in their treatment, such that they would incorporate it into practice, no? The Egyptians may not have gotten everything right, and not expected to, but they certainly lay foundations, as briefly demonstrated in the piece I cited. There is a considerable span of time since the ancient Egyptians and recent times. Your idea that Europeans were the first to systematically study people assumes that it was some spontaneous development that just came about recently, and that since antiquity, science was arrested. What proof do offer for this, other than your subjective personal opinion. [/QB][/QUOTE]
