About this listen

A non-fiction book set in ancient civilizations, including Egypt, Greece, and Rome, during a historical timeframe from 4000 B.C. to the fall of the Roman Empire.

Delve into the fascinating world of ancient healing practices with Ancient Craft of Healing. This enlightening exploration reveals how medical traditions were formed in the cradle of civilization, where the interplay of superstition, religion, and empirical observation shaped the foundations of healthcare as we know it today.

Journey through time, starting in the mystical land of ancient Egypt where the first doctors used the Ebers Papyrus to document a wide array of herbal remedies, intertwined with religious rites and ritual incantations. Transition to ancient Greece, where pioneering figures like Hippocrates laid the groundwork for ethical medical practices, challenging the age-old beliefs in the supernatural. Discover how Rome’s Galen built upon this legacy, establishing a more experimental approach to medicine through anatomical studies and pharmacy. As you immerse yourself in these rich historical narratives, witness how diverse cultural practices and a collective pursuit for wellness informed the evolution of medicine from its mystical origins to a rigorous discipline. This book is not just a history lesson; it’s a profound reflection on humanity's age-old quest for healing and knowledge.
