what are some ancient egyptian medical, health, and sanitation practices?

Question

Why did the ancient egyptians suffer more from plagues and diseases than the Isrealites?

Answer 1

The Egyptians had a lot of knowledge about the anatomy of the human body even though they never dissected the body. For example, in the classic mummification process, they cleanly removed the brain out of the body via the nose using a long hook.

The Egyptian physicians also were aware of the importance of the pulse, and of a connection between pulse and heart. Author of the Smith Papyrus had even some vague idea of a cardiac system, though not of course of a circulation.Still, he was not able to distinguish between blood vessels, tendons, and nerves.

Medical knowledge in ancient Egypt was so advanced that other kings and emperors from different empires would write to the Egyptian pharaoh to send them their best surgeon to perform operations.

Mostly the Egyptian physician's advice for staying healthy was to wash and shave the body, including under the arms. This would have worked because cleaning would prevent microbes and viruses. The physicians would also advise their patients to look after their diet, and avoid foods such as raw fish or other animals which would not be clean.

Answer 2

The word "race" appeared around 50-75 years ago. We referred to people as black, white, yellow, red. I do not know who came up with the idea of the word "race." But 'race' is a scientific term for when animals are closely related to other animals, sort-of a sub-species of a specific animal. "Race' has absolutely NOTHING to do with people and the color of their skin. The closest word we have that is correct is "ethics" A good example is the Civil War. There were over 100 different flags in the Civil War. One Flag; the one we see all the time, was shown in a black and white movie, with no sound. Suddenly that one flag; became THE flag, of the Civil War. That flag was on a Confederate war ship, that was sunk after 2 days of battle. It was never used again in the Civil War. But in tv and movies, and on vehicles, it is every where!
