Bollington SciBar: The Ancient Egyptians: Mummies, Medicine and Healing Practices

January 13th, 2025. 6.30pm

SciBar is science in a bar – an invited speaker gives a talk on a scientific topic while people enjoy a drink or meal, with a Q&A afterwards. Bollington SciBar takes place at the Vale Inn in Bollington.

The speaker in January is Rosalie David, emeritus professor at the University of Manchester.

Topic of the talk: The mummified human remains of the ancient Egyptians preserve a wealth of evidence about their diseases and physical ailments, as well as the medical and pharmaceutical treatments employed to alleviate these conditions. The talk will consider the Egyptians’ concept of disease and ill-health; some of the most prevalent afflictions from which they suffered; and the available range of treatments.  It will also look briefly at the professional relationship between patients and their physicians, healers and carers. Finally, it will demonstrate how Egypt’s legacy, transmitted through Greek, Roman and Arabic sources, became the source for some principles and practices still found in modern ‘Western’ medicine.

No charge, all welcome.  Vale Inn, Adlington Road, talk begins 6.30pm. Details at bollingtonscibar.co.uk

We are a group of enthusiastic amateur genealogists who meet informally almost every month and normally at Bollington Arts Centre to share our successes and encourage each other with our research.

Some of our members have local ancestry but many are researching outside the Cheshire area including other parts of Europe, the United States and Australia.

We would be delighted to welcome new members, whether beginners or the more experienced family historian.
Turn up to any of our meetings (10.30am – noon on the first Thursday of every month except August) or contact us on 01625 574410 or bollingtonfhc@gmail.com
