were our ancestors better futurologists ??

Question

when i mean our ancestors i mean people who lived probably thousands of years before... did they know about the deadly viruses and bacteria ?? few historical books in the library tell of myths which dont mention the words virus and bacteria, but it tells that they tried to avoid few thing which cause these diseases... so did they exactly know about virus and bacteria and etc...... so they had certain rules in their lives so that they dont fight these diseases... whats ur opinion

Answer 1

Well they had Local cures that have proven effects over the years, but I am sure that they did not have the knowledge over all to cure most ailments. But there were time when elders member that were called homophobic or witch doctors or shaman had Knowledge that was passed down over the years that have cured someone that was about to die because of their ailments. And lets not forget those that had a little knowledge of local plants and there medical values......................

Answer 2

Ancestors Knew?
In my view, the ancient people, many thousands, and may be millions, of years ago, lived a spiritual life, being in tune with their Higher Self, which can access all knowledge. I believe that they intuitively knew what to do and how to protect themselves, living in harmony with nature. Life energy photograohs show that the life energy deteruorates frst, before any harmful microorganism comes in! Do we run down our life energy by food and life style, then blame it on the microbes?

I feel that we are the spiritually impoverished ones, while the ancient stone age people were the wise ones. They did not need tools when they could create spiritually.

These may be foreign thoughts to many, since our scholl books tell us otherwise, yet, studies of ancient holy symbols tell us what the very ancients knew: everything spiritual and all they cared about was spirituality. May be we can remember our roots?

I think they mostly thought of them as some type of daemon that has gotten into the body.But it was mostly women that learned which plants to use to help cure certain of the more prevalent illnesses . by watching what the animals ate when they were sick with something similar. wither it worked or not was up to a Deity.

Answer 4

Micro-organizms were unknown until the invention of the micro-scope,consequently,every unknown sickness was referred to as whatever coloquial expression was in use at that time.For instance,rashes,psoraisis,leisions,etc. were called leprosy,and the afflicted were isolated with other"lepers"until their malady cleared up.So;If you one can't see,identify,catagorize,the easy way to go is lump similar looking things together.
