- Early indigenous people in North America were using the number 0 before any other people, had mapped the planets and stars, and had their own calendars and writing methods. We also see how the herbs and plants that they used often are utilized in our modern drugs, as in the Yew tree bears components in Tamoxifen for cancer treatment today and the Willow tree has acetylsalicylic acid for aspirin.

Here in Mexico, traditional herbal medicine is still broadly used, it is believed that at least 90% of the Mexican population uses or has used a traditional remedy based on herbs, and you can actually study herbal medicine as a formal career in several universities.
Sadly, big pharma took these precious healing herbs and put very little of the herb. Then, used man made toxic chemicals causing side effects. It's best to carefully examine the right herbs and take the herb as is fresh without these poison additives.
My mom still uses traditional medicine when we become sick or others come to her after contemporary medical care has failed them. She learned about plants from her grandmother, who learned it from her parents and so on. I have faith in these plants as I have seen her save a boy's foot, from being amputated by doctors, using natural remedies. She makes countless people feel better with her herbal concoctions. I admire her and the knowledge of our ancestors passed on to her♥️
hope you are also keeping all that knowledge and wisdom alive and passing it on!
You are so lucky to have this knowledge in your family. I always use non-western medicine healing modalities first, but I've had to learn these as I can throughout my life. And my understanding of these is so small. I hope you learn all you can from your mom, and pass this on to the next generation.
If you have the opportunity to gain this information for yourself, you will be one of those people that has followers and thousands that come to you in the same way. The way I see it, the way I feel it, you are going to need this knowledge after the transition. Since many of us have decided to declare war on big Pharma and the other four or five big corporations that seem to be destroying our planet under the guise of leadership, you and I are going to be sought after by many in need. Serious need. Beware the threats coming from the other directions at the same time. Not a premonition, just a feeling. Who else is going to keep that knowledge and pass it down? Who else is in position or lined up to take that information and keep it safe?
Yeah ok, tell more lie for fake attention on UA-cam
@@mml0082 thank you! Sadly I only know a few of her remedies but I will start making a list soon. It makes it a little hard because she grows some of the herbs in her own garden and the names she has for them are not the scientific names listed for them. I'll do my best.
"And they knew which plants those were"
My Mom took me out into the woods and showed me those plants
We know what those plants are!!
Natives keep our traditions alive!
That's so awesome luv
Envious of you're people. We are a embarrassment to the human race us modern people, we really are a disgrace.
Natives had serious knowledge of botanical cures and holistic approach . Europe: let's drain your blood.
Actually, European 'natives' also had a serious knowledge of natural cures and the holistic approach; it's just that the priests kept burning them alive at the stake for being witches. The priests preffered to follow the teachings of the Greeks from thousands of years before, just as they preferred to live by a book written by bronze age shepards living in a desert thousands of miles away.
Europe lost the knowledge, somehow. War, illness, superstition. It all contributed to this loss, in my opinion.
@@kevinroche3334 I agree. The Greeks a thousand years before were knowledgeable in medicine plus many other sciences. I’m not sure what happened. It probably was religion as well that put them back into the dark ages. It all boils down to religions. Specifically the abrahamic religions that keep us into the most hate and fear for one another.
Your humors are out of alignment. 😆
@@paytonpryor no no it's clearly smells thats spreading diseases, put some herbs under your nose and you'll be aight. or drink the liquid from the buboes to protect yourself from the disease.
There’s a reason why big pharma ran so many commercials when tv was becoming a mainstay in the home : they need to monopolize the market, making people forget about the age old remedies .
in the USA
All one has to do,is do the research and teach yourself!
I have just FEASTED on this documentary, especially Inuit, whose culture has fascinated me since in the 2nd grade, I read the story of an adolescent "Eskimo" boy who was separated from his hunting party and had to survive the winter alone. I remember so many things about it-I read it many times until the teacher made me return it. "NUVAT THE. BRAVE" it was named. Im 36 yrs old, and I still remember all those details. THAT'S the impression it made on me.because I learned so much about the history and industry- the evolution of their ways of controlling to an astonishing degree, their uncontrollable environments.
I just looked and that book is hard to find - sounds worth tracking a copy down
Have you seen the filmed Atanarjuat: The Fast Runner? I think you would enjoy it.
Just found the film on Apple TV…thank you Joyleaf for the recommendation.
@@sharonkaczorowski8690 no problem
Happy Thanksgiving
It really does seem like European medicine was way behind its other technology for some reason. I remember reading a journal of a Muslim traveler who visited France to learn their medical practices. The French doctor just kept killing all of the patients in ridiculous ways. If I recall correctly, there was a lady suffering headaches, so the French doctor carved a deep cross into her skull and then rubbed salt into it and she had seizures and died. Then even in later times, there was the whole obsession with treating every disease by removing large amounts of blood, like contributed to George Washington’s death. It seems like old Western medicine was designed to kill the patient as quickly as possible. It seems like so many treatments were radical and harmful.
The reason is Christianity's rejection of the ancient knowledge and it had a longer time to destroy knowledge and murder the herbalists and wise folk in Europe than most other places mentioned.
Not even old medicine. The American President Garfield died because doctors shoved their unwashed fingers into his bullet wound...
Priests = munks, wouldn’t admit they were wrong, they kept on about dung and the four fluids. The women in the population who knew a bit more about “medicine” were burnt as witches! 🤒
It seems like western medicine is still about killing the patient as swiftly as possible.
Indigenous Europeans used herbs, successfully, the same as any other group. If left to invent the wheel and other technologies, native people in north america might have done similar.
It blows my mind when you really think about it, how sled dogs and humans joined forces to survive. Both the humans and dogs used the of their best abilities and combined them together for major win! Amazing!🙌
what blows my mind is how horrific europeans or anyone from around the mediterranean treated dogs or animals of any kind. those people are truly monsters their whole existence.
@Kal El I mean, they also slaughtered cats in Europe because of bad superstition, and possibly helped the Plagues thay came from rats get as worse as they did!
@@aazhie when being a complete psycho for centuries comes back and bites you in the butt : D
Very informative video of ancient cultures. Unfortunately, because of the title, I was expecting a more in depth look at native medicines.
Here as well luv
unfortunatly any info on the subject seems very bias about americans by americans. when you look into medicine in europe that is still legal today you will hear a different story .
Our medicine is strong and it's knowledge is passed on to the future generations of our clans
I have so much gratitude and respect for the Healers in the Indigenous communities. Their herbology experiments and expertize has a direct impact on our health today. It was fascinating to hear how they set bones, clean wounds and relieved severe head trauma.
This is a small glimpse into what we knew and how we lived
The Americas Indigenous symbiotic genius
Zoomorphic love and respect of nature
"They used kayaks & boats made out of nothing more than animal skin & driftwood & traveled HUNDRED OF KILOMETERS in them (over FREEZING COLD waters)....got lost in a storm, washed up on an unknown tropical island....AND FOUND THEIR WAY BACK HOME AGAIN by laying in the bottom of the boat & listening to the currents...." 😳😲
That's a whole 'nother level of courage & skill - like DAAAAMN.......hella impressive 👏
I make my own aspirin just as my ancestors did 🧡💜
I would like to, but have no knodlege of how, still , amazing, My neighbours has a Willow tree, maybe I should make tea from the roots, I have cut some of the branches that fell into my garden, put it into plastic bags, when I opened the bag I fainted, it has the most horrible stench I have ever smelled. Maybe I would rather go and buy Asprin, its easier.
@@SuperBenette Yes. I personally make medicine just like my indigenous European and white appalachian ancestors did. But I don't go out of my way to avoid simple, safe medicine from the store. I save willow for rooting plants or crafts :D.
@@RunninUpThatHillh I think its wonderfull that you cultivate the plants, I still have no idea of how to ingest Willow for painrelief. Bessings
I buy and use arnica montana topical and sublingual for injuries and falls. Amazing plant.
@@henchy3rd Thanks a lot , I would try it, be blessed.
Awareness, mindfulness, observation even now is how to learn.
I've just had some hedgehog mushrooms, picked from my walk in the Lancashire English countryside. All good. Polypore, antiseptic. Garlic, Hazel nuts, dandelions, the list goes on. In any country.
Turkey tail goo in tea for immune system
Comparing the ways of medicine around the world during this time period is very informative.

I liked the first bit on indigenous tribes of the Americas. I'd recommend the archeologist written book series " Novels of North America's Forgotten Past". The Gears write about many different times and locations, and I've learned so much about places like Cahokia and different histores of the people who have been here much longer than Europeans. The stories are usually pretty great, and the characters are awesome. "People of the Longhouse" and "Peope of the Mist" are both fantastic reads!
love how his first example was asprin, Willow bark was used in Egypt. It was Bayer that chemically altered it. Waiting for more facts lol
According to my NA great grandmother, my great-great grandmother's sister was a healer. As a little child, I was told the Old Stories, and what my ggg-aunt could do with plants we can walk to the woods and find, now. Like Plantain (not the banana relative!), Willow bark, Cranberry, Echinacea, etc., and the plant understanding was passed down in our family.
My mother user Cranberry her whole adult life to treat UTIs, which she was prone to, and very seldom did she have to go to the doctor to give the natural medicine a bit of a boost. Funny, though, but the doctors she visited here in the Central Midwest were never against that as an initial treatment, and several (ones I've known, too) strongly supported its use!
The NA medication has a very, very long history of being very good at what it's for, and I am very happy to see this video supporting that long history! Thank you, so!
❤️❤️
The Power of Ceremony is just as potent and medicinal as any contemporary psychotherapy.
Er….. naaah.
My mother told me of a time when my uncle got his face cut open from a vase that fell on him, the shards cut him. My grandmother took him to a lady that practices herbal medicine and she said that within a few weeks his face had healed and if you see his face you would never have known that he was cut, no scarring or lasting damage. This is what my mother tells me.
@12:57 you can see the lego block method was used for the sphinx also. Look at the horizontal lines in the face
Loved this documentary but would have liked to have known more about the medicinal part and how native people found the right plants to use-assuming there was a lot of trial and error.
With intuition…I guess
they found out speaking/listening to the plants with the help of sacred medicines like ayahuasca, peyote and wachuma
Too many assertions not enough facts, imo….and a bunch of facts totally unrelated to medicine
@4:35 does anybody know what the book of plants used by the Aztecs was?
it wasn't written in spanish
@@justmehello5543 I can understand nahua. I’m asking if it still exists
It is called: an Aztec herbal
@@permabroeelco8155 thank you 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Closer to nature. Tried and true remedies like old timey country people. Not plagued with crazy ideas like old herbalists women were witches,etc.
This is incredible.
Such a fantastic documentary.
Thank You from Athens NY :)
26:26 amazing string language!!
Good documentary more plz
Fascinating!!!!!
The segment on the Arctic would have been enhanced by showing some of the Eskimo games competitions. Grueling, painful tasks are used to develop perseverance in extreme adversity. Such as the ear pull where they actually hang a weight from the ear by a leather thong that has to be carried.
I listen to a very interesting radio program called Native America Calling, with Sean (Shawn?) Spruce. People call in from all over North America, ftom reservations, big cities, and rural areas. They all use whatever terms for themselves and their people they like. There is a lot of choice.
When I was little, my Granny used to drive me out to the country where she'd dig up certain plants, explain their names and uses, then take them home to grow in her garden.
Today's "modern medicines" are made from toxic petroleum, which is why people are so sick anymore. The side effects alone are worse than most illnesses~💀
I love yarrow and it grows like crazy. I have so many in my backyard.
Yarrow is good have you tried chew a half inch piece of root it will numb a tooth ache, head ache , soar throat! Check out Heal All this plant is Amazing!!
@@jeffporschsr2075 No I havnt had the chance to explore the root or making any tinctures with it, but I plan to explore.
That stuff is magic!
Don't confuse it with water hemlock in bloom. Learn your toxic plants
@Krystal Gayle I’m always trying to learn what I can, what is yarrow good for? how do you prepare it?
Grandpa was German Cherokee and would walk me through the woods naming all plants and trees;)
❤ I feel so lucky to be able to learn about these amazing peoples of ancient Americas and what they were doing before they were interrupted and forced to assimilate. What an amazing world this is to see how humans can do so many amazing things!
It wasn't pictures in the Attic when my grandmother talks about Native people she doesn't know she's the coolest
The ritual encourages confidence in the medicine. It adds trust and faith and we KNOW that a lack of trust in medicine can cause a nocebo effect (basically if you believe the medicine won't cure you, it won't work even if scientifically the chemical works)
My Chinese friends trust Traditional Herbal medicine more than modern medicine. I said I could understand but 1. How can you control the strength? Depending on how & where the plant grows, the potency will be different. 2. How can you guarantee the expertise of the Pharmacist? There's no certification process in China. 3. Ginseng has unequivocally been proven as ineffective. There are many herbs that haven't been proven to be effective, rather a placebo effect.
@xuyahfish but Aloe Vera is a miracle, and so is dandelion root, oregano oil, and marijuana. They are each curative in their own way, genuine and effective and absolutely not a placebo effect. Nature takes care of us without needing to get the greedy medical industry involved.
You didn't answer that question of the title of your video. So I will give it a shot! It makes sense the other cultures would be more advanced, and left evidence of that, having their evolution and documented uninterrupted history for us to know. They had the advantage of not being hindered by the mini-ice age that froze much of Europe. "The Little Ice Age was a period of regional cooling, particularly pronounced in the North Atlantic region. It was not a true ice age of global extent."(google)
Having the nice tropical/temperate climates made for easier life, I'm sure. That sudden-onset ice-age weather would have set any civilizations back that were not like the Inuits with a long history of adaptation and survival. The Europeans had no seals to hunt either, so without their cattle, farm animals, and crops, they would have died.
It would also have meant later settlements in those lands, once the ice melted. How much past evidence did the ice sheets destroy? As a child, I used to pick up the rocks deposited by the former ice sheets every spring, as they were lifted up through the soil with the freeze and thaw process, in Northern NY near the Canadian border where I grew up. I wonder what is buried under debris, dirt, and rocks that we have not found in Europe. Areas in France have been left uninhabitable since WWII due to lead and other toxic contamination in the soil from all the munitions. Who knows what may be buried there and in other similar places.
We do not see evidence of a history of brain surgery in the North American tribes like the Mohawks, who were also there in Northern NY during the mini ice age. We share a climate very similar to northern Europe there. Try surviving those winters with as low as -50 degrees F, with the wind chill factor and several feet of snow! Your breath makes icicles on your beard if you have one, when you are out in there for any length of time. You don't see the Inuits doing much inside their huts, other than working on what they need for survival! Those winds just cut right through you, when you don't know what the Inuits know! I was always so cold as a kid born in the late 1950's, before all the "high-tech" warm winter clothing! Additionally, nomadic tribes due to climatic changes are less likely to have written records vs a "settled" civilization. Academia is only possible in those large, developed centralized cities with large populations. Others were just trying to survive, not create working, organized, structured civilizations under those conditions. The smart Europeans would have gone south and taken their knowledge with them.
The European witch hunts eliminated those with the herbal healing knowledge in many different tribes. Then they were exterminated, unlike what happens in indigenous tribes. The indigenous tribes do not kill their healers for profits. They do not steal the traditional secrets, kill off the healers, and then make patented drugs from the ancient knowledge, like the one evil white tribe of rulers of the world do.
"Evil white tribe of rulers". That is a word salad of garbage.
The nice temperatures did make for easier life. That explains IQ differences. People living in colder climates died if they didn't measure up. You'll see eskimos aren't included because they had fishing.
Well said
This sounds like mostly speculation
It isn’t a race thing, it’s a christianity thing.
Good too know
This is the 6th episode on 8 : Science and technology
🙏
Have you ever heard of Scuola Medica Salernitana? Medival Era South of Italy. I think you should.
Yes, they brought the Arab (and thereby old Greek and Vedic) knowledge to Europe. This was the start of medical science. But it omitted the ethnobotanical knowledge of all European regions. This knowledge was not (entirely) lost though.
These ways of learning were going on before the Americas.
Yes we know but Europeans want people to believe that everyone else was below them.
The Mi'kmaq people of Eastern Canada also had a form of writing similar to hieroglyphics
I just wonder how far we would be in medicine if the whole world wasn't colonized
Humans colonise /shrug .. I think you might mean european colonisation though.. Colonisation is what humans have done since the dawn of time for better or for worse
@Hermit Permit indigenous tribes in the Americas did a lot of things that aren't acknowledged by modern Americans in the USA. I enjoy the book series by the Gears, usually titled "People of the ___" with the blank the title of the individual books. People of the Silence and People of the Wolf are great, but other books are set in the mound building tribes, who conquered and controlled weaker groups. It's an amazing series, recommended to me by my friend from a local tribe.
You wouldn't be
Anyone else irritated by how little it actually talks about indigenous medicine? And never actually even tries to answer its own question? The title should be something like "Indigenous Technologies were more advanced than you think."
It still is..
The Aztecs were fine heart surgeons
kinda' ^^
And the torture chambers in dark dungeons under medieval castles in Europe where some were impaled at the groin splitting a body in half gave the Europeans a heads up on human anatomy.
it was witchcraft the real witchcraft which is science
Spot on.

"DONT BATHE, BATHING IS FOR HEAAATHENNNSS!"
Was that the same era?
That's quite a literally a myth lol, the "dark ages" myth as it is called, originated in Italy around the 16th century, attempting to justify the enlightenment and break away from the church. Bathhouses in Europe existed as early as 1100. By the time colonization occurred, it was in fact the Europeans who were introducing basic sanitation to more of the nomadic peoples in the territories they conquered.
This guy sounds like a young George Carlin
Especially tree medicine is walking. Cannot be as sitting lieing it is to walk. Seasons yes but offices no. It is the scent enraged
@Peter Kavanagh What the hell are you trying to say? This sounded like word salad!
It's because studying in universities was not gatekeped in the Americas.
Hi everyone I’m Big Sil!🇺🇸🏆🌹🎤💯🌎☀️winning🏆🇺🇸💃❤️
Ha it probably still is - medical doctors are very poor at diagnosis and anything that doesn’t involve pharmaceuticals. Up until 1900 medical school was one semester repeated twice - same classes.
Imperial India created the European Empire
The (disappointingly high) number of commercials constantly interrupts the storyline to the point where it is ruined. Not going to finish the video because the history depicted demands more respect.
What a shame, it seems a LOT of energy has gone into this production and I was pleased to see acknowledgment of groups of people who has been exploited for centuries. Big fail.
I recommend the book “The Cosmic Serpent” for anyone who wants to better understand the shamans complex and supreme knowledge and deep engagement with science, spirituality and plant medicine.
It changes the whole view of the world we live in…
Peace ✌🏼
Personally I am a huge admirer of the indigenous people of America - their customs and world view. If the people of the world could return to the ancient ways, it could be a true paradise again.
As for my own, Western culture...all knowledge in ancient pagan Europe was committed to memory. This meant that their healers and spiritual leaders must've had pretty high IQ's. It apparently took 20 years to become a Druid pagan "priest " - memorising volumes of information. The Romans knew that the Druids had to be executed before they could forcibly convert nature worshiping pagans to Christianity. Women who continued to practice the "old ways" including natural medicine were burnt at the stake as witches by the Roman Catholic Church. We forget what our ancestors sacrificed for our culture. Pity so many of our own kind have forgotten that. Europeans had the same knowledge of the plants in their own environment as other indigenous cultures did. It is biased and quite frankly not very smart to say other cultures were superior. I'd say each culture is a treasure trove of knowledge. After all European pharmacologists were the first to develop the science to verify the active healing properties in plants. Previously knowledge of healing plants was merely confined to the experience of those who lived in a region with the indigenous plants that grew there. Ancient peoples of every region in the world had knowledge of their local healing plants. Western pharmacology was the first to scientifically identify and classify their active components. Personally I prefer plants in their natural form and give preference to natural medicinal practices - much like my ancient European ancestors did. Those who use natural plants as medicine understand that certain plant constituents work in synergy - for example in a plant such as Lily of the Valley - indigenous to Europe. When we make public statements, we ought to present our facts in a balanced way considering that all cultures value their traditional knowledge and that each has made valuable contributions.
the ones that know & the ones that don't know
Now, you visit your dr and they get you in and out as quickly as they can.
The Yew tree?
I love plant medicine and have used them cause I don’t have enough money to go to the doctors much, but when you look into the plants different tribes used, I’d say like 65% of it was based more on its spiritual association to try and heal rather than actual effects, so you can only accept so much of it as truth
You can say whatever you want, but you're not native, are you your speculating always only used for spiritual purposes, only westernized medicine really heals. I'm Native American, I'm Navajo and the plants that we use for traditional healing, is it not, because we think its only spiritual healing, we don't think like that, that's religious thinking, religious people think that if they pray to some stupid sky, daddy, that everything is gonna be made right, I hope you're not projecting your religious beliefs.
You got survival as your, your UA-cam, handle name if it wasn't for Native Americans, teaching Europeans how to survive in this country, what plants to eat as food and wet plants heal, you wanna be here to be as survivalist of anything.
Maybe it was so much long ago , we not even know. Maybe Amerika is the first in any best technology from the start. We always was think Amerika was late know for us , but what about if is a First as we not know yet. Then maybe Europe , maybe then Afrika , or what ever , but I not be say Amerika was not there back in time too.
I'm interested in speaking with a History Sociologist, often called Anthropology Sociologist, regarding theis very Subject. I'm a Sociologist/Behavioralist and Historian that is focused in Ancient History, Sumer/Mesopotamia, Egypt, the Levant, Ireland, Iberia, are the primary areas of my Research, however, these connect to the Americas far before the Mainstream History Books indicate.
Studies by David Reich, PhD, Geneticist, Harvard, DNA Mapping of Migrations, has revealed vast information that supports my focus, his works are Peer Reviewed and Journal Published.

Remember that in 1500 ce that people across the ocean had been studying at a place called Oxford University for over 200yrs ..... please put things into prospective...... people all over the planet used what was hand..... thank God our continent has yielded so many medicines that early peoples used that we can all share.......
Only one thing makes Western cultures ask and pursue ideas as the one subtle in the title. Racism, Culturism and a gravely inflated belief that their culture is/was Superior. Some times I think many ancient cultures saw thee possibility but refused to take the path of "materialism" and cutting lose of their gods and nature.
Our medical practitioners in the U.S. have turned it into a business. Or someone has turned it into such. Treating the symptoms is all we do. Healing isnt really part of the equation.
Yeah but they don't say what that book was. . . . Greedy people.
Without watching this properly id guess because of the indigenous peoples. We could and should learn from these great people.
Because they had the freedom of free Minds to use the Earth and actually go within and think and be led by Passion and Imagination inspiration where my other ancestors had religion shoved down their throats in which finally my ancestors here in North America had religion eventually shove down their throats as indigenous people...the sad twisted dark realities of history..
THEY DIDNT LIVE IN CITIES
/VID
Now you're ridiculed for still practicing this old school practice of medicine.
And location in North America back with Native American times we didn't have rodents and rats diseased or parasitical animals we didn't have mice we had beavers Chipmunks possums we didn't have a lot of the diseases that they had and if we need it we had rooted vegetables and roots and herbs that grow here that heal and cure and we were free to use whatever Mother Nature thought necessary
That was the natives, not the whites and everyone else
This is a great vid! So tired of old, white, male archeologists controlling the narrative.
I always guessed that it was because Europe killed off all the people who knew the land best in "witch trials"
Why was our medical knowledge ahead of Europe's? For one thing, we didn't call our healers witches and burn them to death.
it wasn't
Bingo. Superficial appearance over substance. in terms of practical applied results European medicine was far more effective, even back then. Probably since the time of Galen.
@@Laotzu.Goldbug You literally believed Jews poisoned well water causing the Black Plague and that women peeing outdoors made them a witch.
Oh that must be why the Europeans were dying of black plague and everything else that they introduced to indigenous cultures because they were so advanced you know. @@Laotzu.Goldbug
@@silkoakranchpitchforkranch1205 ironically it was the fact that Europe was subject to numerous plagues that the Americas were not that made the pre-columbian Indians so vulnerable and led to them being wiped out. Europeans were subject to incredibly harsh natural selection through disease and they developed immunity that the Mesoamericans did not (largely due to the dearth of livestock), and so when they came into contact the latter were almost annihilated.
@@foca7550 you didn't read my comments. it doesn't matter what people believed, if they thought the stupidest things in the world. If you do the right thing for a stupid reason it's still the right thing. the actual medical outcomes in terms of applied science of European medicine far exceeded anything in mesoamerica. It doesn't matter if they thought it was because gnomes lived in people's ears
Many Native Aboriginal Americans Are And Were
More Advanced, Paleo Puctographs Are The First Original Language, Comon Worldwide, Not cuniform
I like the way the Indian preparing the herbs has perfectly manicured fingernails without any dirt on them and his hands look so soft like he never did a day of work in his life
If we were actually moving throughout the cosmos over 3 million km per hour, why hasn’t there been any stellar parallax since these ancient civilisations first began to use the night sky for their calendars. Today we still observe the same constellations as our ancestors, indicating we are not moving, and the idea the Earth is a spinning space ball is a total fallacy. Furthermore, winter and summer we still observe the same stellar constellations, even though we are facing different ends of the solar system at night, which seems the same stars are rotating around a stationary Earth
Lmfao
Modern western narrative has us to believe that our ancestors were monkeys.
Was ?? It’s still not better or ever will be
why ?? pharmaceutical industry made for profit not to help anyone .
Religion. That's why. Europe had one all powerful all knowing God they depended on for every decision. Americans had many God's for many things.
It's a little more nuanced than that though. It was more the bureaucracy of religion in medieval Europe and how church leaders instructed both privileged and common folk alike (neither of whom were really in any position societally to question that authority) to apply their faith in regards to healing rather than anyone's individual faith dictated. Moreover, that explanation doesn't take into account the wortcunner/wise woman approach to medicine, which was not beholden to interpreting everything through the Galenic model of healing and health management...which was arguably a larger stumbling block to good professional healthcare in medieval Europe. Indeed, the wise woman approach to medieval European medicine was arguably as advanced and possibly even more so than indigenous American medicine.
@@andydaniels3029 bullshit. You just cope posted. Religion is the reason, primarily Christianity, because it resulted in the slaughter of those that practiced traditional medicine in the name of combatting “witchcraft” and “heresy” and “defying gods will”. Don’t obscure that fact and then attempt to paint European medicine as “more advanced”. You showed a clear bias in your comment and it’s obvious that you have a “the heathens couldn’t have possibly been more advanced in any aspect” mentality.
@@Gobbldeegoo1 I "cope posted" nothing and your ignorant attack showed you didn't even bother to really read my comment nor did you bother to look into anything I wrote in it before launching your attack. I deny none of the charges you levied against religion and Christianity and I consider it a great shame that such events are the legacy of that religion in particular. Moreover, if you'd bothered to investigate my comment, you'd learn that the wortcunner or wise woman WAS the traditional medicine healer of medieval Europe and largely the healing expert for the common person, not a church-approved professional as only the well-off could afford them. You would also learn that THEY TOO suffered much the same fate as the indigenous American people, as the church held that women shouldn't hold such position (in deference to their own approval of medical care obviously). This was actually the beginning of "witchcraft" which the church sought to eradicate.
