00:00Astonishing medical secrets in ancient Egypt.
00:03Can you believe that ancient Egypt?
00:05Was millennia ahead of its time in medical discoveries that
00:08baffled even modern scientists?
00:11The ancient Egyptians uncovered schistosomias thousands of years
00:15before the Adobilhaz.
00:17They didn't just discover it.
00:19They gave it a unique name, R.
00:21And it didn't stop there.
00:22They identified the worm causing the disease,
00:25calling it Herat, and remarkably,
00:27they found an effective medicine, antimony.
00:30The ancient Egyptians didn't know injections in that distant era.
00:34So they ingeniously devised a unique method of administering
00:38the medicine biosuppositories.
00:41What's also astonishing is that the name pharmacy as we know it today traces its roots.
00:47Back to ancient Egypt.
00:49The ancient Egyptians called it pharmaca,
00:51a name that evolved into the modern pharmacy.
00:54And their achievements didn't end there.
00:55Imagine they were using an extract from the willow tree to alleviate headaches.
01:00And today, did you know that aspirin?
01:03This common medication is still made from the very same.
01:06Extract after being treated with acetic acid.
01:09A continuous medical legacy.
01:11Stretching back to the brilliance of our ancient Egyptian ancestors.
