(Mysteries of Ancient Medicine: Season 1: Abracadabra, Longmen Recipes, Belemnites) Historie Step into a world where every remedy could mean life or death. This series uncovers the dramatic and often surprising ways ancient civilizations fought sickness, plague and injury. Archaeologists reveal forgotten treatments, from omens, ointments and sweat baths to bloodletting, toxic antidotes and pirate medical kits. Unearthed medical texts, ancient surgical tools and global healing traditions open a window into a time of bold experimentation. Meet the barber surgeons who operated in wartime and explore Roman hospitals built for innovation. From mystical charms to early acupuncture and Ayurveda, each discovery brings to life the extraordinary lengths humans once went to stay alive. Across the ancient world, healing often relied on forces unseen. Roman scholars recorded spoken incantations believed to shield the body from malaria, revealing faith in the power of words themselves. In China, the Longmen Grottoes preserve an extraordinary stone-carved medical record that lists remedies made from human hair, animal dung and other unlikely ingredients. Meanwhile, in medieval Poland, archaeologists uncover fossilized squid tails placed in graves, hinting at protective rituals or medicinal symbolism now long forgotten. From spoken spells to carved cures and ritual objects, these clues uncover a world where medicine, magic and belief were deeply entwined. MN 7 (Canada)
