The Aztec suggested that the human body is affected by the person’s own beliefs. they had a unique view of the health of human body, they believed that there is a balance between the body and the universe, thus, they are both affected by each other. They considered that happiness and health are sequences of good manners subjected to the god’s will. In contrast, Aztecs believed that sins and faults can cause many dangerous illnesses, they thought that god can cause the illness and cure it. Aztec doctors used herbs to cure many types of illnesses but for severe ones, they linked it to gods’ dissatisfaction. Also, they thought that the most effective ways to treat gods’ illnesses were offerings, prayers, and confession. So, when a person commits a sin, he should confess about what he did and he will probably get well faster than using any treatment. And the speech of confession had its own powers, they classified the speeches between bad speech, foreigner speech, and good speech; choosing the right words help to cure the patients faster and give them the energy to get better. One of the famous Aztec’s theory about illnesses is that that the enemy can use dark magic that causes illness, there are many ways to cure those kinds of magic-related diseases. One way was to use an amulet, small ornament believed to attract good luck and keep dark powers away. While this small ornament could be

The Elizabethan time period was from 1558 through 1603 known as the Renaissance. During the Renaissance there was not any running water, so people would have to throw their waste in the streets. With people’s waste in the street came many illnesses including The Plague. Even a minor scrap could kill you in the next minute. When people got sick they needed medicine, physicians, and health care. In the late 1500 there was not a great deal medican, there was mostly just spiritual analysis.

One of the worst sins was being ungrateful. They also believed the gods kept balance in society and guided the people of Egypt. Men and women could be priests in Egypt.

Owning the complete collection of Grey’s Anatomy may make someone feel like an expert of the medical field, but when it comes down to knowing the diseases that were common during other periods of time, that understanding seems to be very limited. While diseases like the common cold have been around for a long time, there are many staple diseases that have shaped the medical field and the foundation for medicine today that need to be known. To fully understand diseases during the Elizabethan era, it is vital to understand the cause, type, and treatment of the illnesses that were common during that time period.

Greek and Egyptian had similar beliefs on illness and treatments. According Ancient Medicine, “Greek and Egyptian believed that illness and diseases were divine punishment send by unhappy Gods or from evil spirit and pray were the first line of defense.” (Hippocratic Corpus, 1) One

Medicine during the Elizabethan Era was extremely basic. The knowledge most people had about medicine came from their ancestors through many generations. The Elizabethan Era was a time when terrible illnesses such as the Black Plague were killing nearly one-third of the population. The cause of many illnesses during this time was lack of sanitation. Back then, women played a major role in medicine. They often nursed the sick using home remedies that were passed down from generation to generation.

First of all the belief in many gods and goddesses was crucial part of everyday life in ancient Egypt. The ancient Egyptians believed that people and nature are ruled by powerful gods. As Taylor says in his book “Death and the Afterlife in Ancient Egypt”, the Egyptians believed that the universe consisted of three types of beings: the gods, the living, and the dead. Egyptians connected everything happening in their life in terms of relationship between

Mummification was a very important part of the ancient egyptians religion. Mummification is a process in which the skin and flesh of a corpse can be preserved. The reason why the ancient egyptians thought this was so important was because it was supposed to help them get to the afterlife. A man named herodotus visited Egypt in ancient times, he watched the mummification process and wrote the only eye witness account on record. “ In the best treatment, first of all they would take out the brains through the nostrils with an iron hook. Then they made an incision in the stomach with a sharp obsidian blade through which they took out all the internal organs. Then they clean out the body cavity, rinsing it with palm wine. They cover the corpse with

Religion was in every Ancient Egyptians' life. Many gods and goddesses were worshiped everyday. There was also a legends or a god and goddess to interpret everything they did not know. Such as, the Book of Thoth. The Book of Thoth brought great wisdom, and great spells in the world. The reader of the book would be able to cast spells, and enchant the sky and earth. However, the reader and his family were usually punished by the gods until the book was returned. It was said that Thoth himself wrote the book, and buried in the hands of Prince Neferkaptah. Gods and Goddesses had a huge impact on daily life. The Ancient Egyptians wanted have a good internal life,in the after life.To do this, the Egyptians believed the had to obey all of the gods and goddesses rules.Through the journey, the Ka, or the spirit, went though the final judgment. The final judgment had two steps in the process. Step 1, the dead pleaded their innocence in their life in front of 24 judges. The Book of The Dead provided the dead with the right words to use in-front of the judges to ensure that they would pass this part of the process, even if the person hasn't been that innocent in their life

“A forgotten plague: dysentery in Sweden, 1750-1900” by Helene Castenbrandt describes how dysentery was forgotten even though it spread throughout a region and caused the population to decrease at huge amounts. Dysentery was a plague that was caused by a bacterium from human feces being spread in food and water. The person with this bacterium would then have symptoms like mild diarrhea, severe abdominal pain and fever followed by death. Dysentery would kill the person slowly this would cause the doctors to not take much look into it and it ended up being overshadowed by another plague called cholera. This plague was also hard to determine the way it would spread throughout the region which caused doctors to question how the victims were connected.

To get an understanding of anything, you must go to its roots. Only through the core of its foundation can we get a glimpse of the truth. However, smallpox is an exception. Smallpox is an ancient disease whose origin is uncertain. It’s not known exactly when or where was the birth of smallpox. It is probable that smallpox existed before any known civilizations, as this disease is based on the activity of human interaction. Once a person became infected and survived, he would no longer be susceptible to this disease, and smallpox is passed on through interaction with other people. With this information in mind, entire ancient tribes could have carried this disease unknowingly, and only through emigration and immigration could the full extent of this disease been evident. Also, before major civilizations came about, most people lived in isolation from others. This isolation mitigated the spread and influence of smallpox. Once major civilizations came about, however, all of the people who were unknowingly carrying the disease would transmit the disease to many people, and there would probably be records of the plague for us to see. Therefore, it is no coincidence that one of the earliest evidence we have of smallpox is centered around one of the first major known civilizations: Egypt. Although there are no written records of diseases similar to smallpox, scientists have found 3 mummies in Egypt that have conditions in their preserved bodies similar to smallpox. Although there were only 3 mummies found, only important people were mummified and it is likely that there were many others infected. One potential reason why Egypt in particular was introduced to smallpox is because Egypt was a big center of commerce and had many diverse people coming in and out, with as many as

In the United States today, we can access water very easily, from tap to bottled water. This was not the case for people in the early times, especially the Ancient Egyptians. Although, things did get better after they found the nile. the Nile helped form Egypt by affecting the ways they live their lives, their religious beliefs, and transportation.

Byzantine architecture was evolved from Early Christian architecture. For example, Early Christian style architecture had basilicas (churches) with three or five isles, but Byzantine style architecture rarely used three to five isles. Byzantines used domes and vaults frequently, unlike the Early Christian style architecture who rarely used domes. To keep the highest domes upright, the Byzantines used pendentive. Pendentive supports the dome using four triangle legs sitting on a square base. In the 6th century reign, with the emperor Justinian I, Byzantine architecture became a distinctive style that included windowed domes.
