Описание: Discover Europe's strangest medical craze's horrifying secret when people ate mummies for health! Ancient Egyptian corpses became one of Europe's most sought after medicines beginning in the 11th century thanks to a bizarre combination of misinterpretations, superstition, and desperate people. Mummies were ground into powders by apothecaries, added to drinks, and sold as miracle remedies for headaches, cancer, epilepsy, and even the plague. In the belief that the preserved flesh of the deceased contained life-giving power, both nobles and commoners consumed these gruesome remedies. Because of the high demand, traders started selling embalmed corpses of executed criminals as fake mummies on the black market. What started out as a misinterpretation of the word mumia evolved into centuries of horrifying medical cannibalism. Europeans held mummy unwrapping parties for science and entertainment throughout the Victorian era, fueling the frenzied looting of Egypt's ancient tombs. This gloomy period in history exemplifies the lengths people would go to in their desperate search for healing. Want to know why eating mummies was once the ultimate superfood of the medieval world? Watch right now to learn the shocking truth about the cannibal cure used in Europe!
