Medicine and magic were inextricably linked in the lives of ancient Egyptians. Texts from that time provide detailed accounts of treating trauma, chronic infections, parasitic infestations and gynaecological issues using natural compounds, amulets and incantations. Serena Love will share a fascinating glimpse into how this intriguing ancient civilisation understood their bodies, their health and their places in the world.
