Fourth, the ancient Egyptian medical and commercial pit daddy!
If you are sick, you have to be treated, and this brings us to ancient Egyptian medicine. Ancient Egyptian medicine can be said to be quite developed, and it has been classified to a very detailed point, such as ophthalmology and dentistry have specialized doctors to treat them.
But, unfortunately, the prescription they prescribed...... In addition to the common herbs, they also like to mix all kinds of soil and all kinds of strange animal feces and urine - just like the Monkey King in "Journey to the West" who used horse urine to pinch pills to treat people......
To sum up, those who happily traveled to ancient Egypt had to be prepared to be stripped and humiliated as soon as they arrived, then suffered from tooth decay and stomach problems due to an unhealthy diet, and then had to be stuffed with horse dung by quacks.
And the treatment of trauma in ancient Egypt is also very strange, mainly using moldy bread to treat wound infections...... Let's hope it doesn't make matters worse!
Another point is that the ancient Egyptian civilization never invented its own metal coinage (it was not until the eve of the end of the ancient Egyptian civilization that Greek merchants brought coins to Egypt). The earliest place where gold and silver coinage was invented was in the old land of the Hittite, a kingdom called Lydia, crossed by the heroine of "The Sky is the Shore of the Red River", but the time was hundreds of years after the fall of the Hittites.
Therefore, in ancient Egypt, if you wanted to buy something on the street, you had to barter or use shells, gold and silver nuggets as general equivalents. However, the "face value" of the shells was too small for many people to reject, and gold and silver were not real currency, so they could not be exchanged directly, and the gold and silver had to be carefully weighed in every transaction, and there had to be a pair of fiery eyes that could distinguish the fineness of gold and silver - fake gold made of lead wrapped in gold leaf, which had already existed at that time.
In addition, the ancient Egyptians used many other circulation mediators, such as various rare stones, but the trouble of conversion has not been improved, there is no official exchange rate, and no real coins have evolved.
