(Mysteries of Ancient Medicine: Season 1: Relitto del Pozzino, Ancient Opium, Liang Tebo) 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. Hidden beneath seas, sands and stone, ancient medicine comes back into view. Off the coast of Italy, a Roman shipwreck preserves a sealed medical chest containing tablets and tinctures that mirror remedies still recognized today, including treatments for eye disease. In the Levant, poppy-shaped jars point to the worlds earliest known use of opium, raising questions about healing, pain relief and post-mortem ritual. Far earlier, deep within the caves of Borneo, a 31,000-year-old skeleton bearing a carefully healed leg amputation reveals advanced anatomical knowledge, long-term care, and surgical planning once thought impossible in the Stone Age. Together, these discoveries uncover a medical sophistication far deeper — and far older — than once imagined. MN 7 (Canada)
