the healing Arts

Medicine and surgery were both advanced and respected in Ancient Egypt - so respected that Pharaoh Atothis is supposed to have written a book on anatomy around 3000 BC.
nine medical treatises have survived. one, the oldest surviving book of surgery in the world, contains details of 48 operations, among them trepanning - boring a hole in the skull to relieve pressure on the brain.
Others contain medical advice which is largely based on superstition, but they also list drugs that are still familiar, such as castor oil, sodium bicarbonate and arsenic.
Egyptian doctors even used adhesive plasters on wounds.

Truth what is Fact or Fiction,

Truth what is fact or fiction.


truth - truth is a story that is told by someone the event has happened too.
Fiction - Fiction stories are stories someone tells someone else that can't be proven as fact ( truth ).

in all if the event happened to you and you tell the story as it had happened you are telling the truth - a fact - but to all the people that the story never happened to the stories can only be classified as fiction.

 that is why i never close the door on any subject - i try to research every side of the story until there is no more sides too research, to close the door on anything at anytime means you are not interested in the truth or facts for what can be considered as truth today can be proven wrong tomorrow.

How carbon-14 dating works

Taken from the Book of Facts

early archaeologists relied on two major techniques for calculating the age of what they found: the principle of stratigraphy - that the remains of earlier generations are covered over by those of their successors; and comparison of style of, say, pottery to determine whether one influenced and therefor preceded the other.
  In the 1950s, however, a new technique know as radio-carbon- 14 dating came into use.
carbon -14 is a radioactive isotope of carbon present in tiny amounts in the atmosphere.
 Living things such as wood and the bones of living animals absorb this carbon naturally.
But when the tree is cut down or the animal dies, the absorption stops and the level of carbon -14 begins to fall as the isotope decays.

Birth of Mummy

The word mummy, for the embalmed bodies of Egyptian notables does not come from Egypt, or even the Arab world.
  It is thought to be derived from a Persian word mummia, meaning bitumen' or 'tar'.
 Mummies were so named because ancient peoples who came across the age-blackened corpses believed wrongly that the bodies were a source of  tar.

why Money is Valued

taken from the Book Of Facts
written by Readers Digest


Money by itself is not wealth, it is a means by which people can exchange goods that do have Value.
while a pile of banknotes is being kept in an attic by a miser and never exchanged for anything, it is worth less than a heap of old rage.
Money is a promise, a piece of trust which is passed from hand to hand and can be stored without perishing.
it has Value only if the trust lasts.
to be trusted, money, it seems must be of limited supply if there is too much, people trust it less. they then want more and more of it in return for goods.
it can become practically worthless, as in times of Chronic inflation. if there is too little then people cannot expand their activities because they cannot find the 'credit' in the form of loans to keep themselves going while they develop new ventures.this can lead to economic depression, or recession, which means not enough things going on, not enough money in peoples pockets to cause 'demand' for goods, and not enough jobs.


My personal Opinion;


  money has always been the cause of wars, Money is more or less worthless without the rear minerals to back it up - but people still make it and die for it - if you don't have it you want it - if you have it you want more - and all it is - is a colored peace of paper.

 credit is an alternative but it still has all the same problems - for me i prefer the barter system - you get something for something - usually work for a roof and food.

incredible shrinking country

two disastrous wars and one near-war have cost Bolivia more then half the territory to which it laid clam when it became independent in 1825.
in the1879-83 war of the pacific, Chile annexed Bolivia's pacific seacoast, along with the port of Antofagasta and the neighboring Brazil was narrowly avoided, Bolivia was forced to cede the rubber-producing Acre territory to Brazil finally after the 1932-5 Chaco War with Paraguay, Bolivia lost three quarters of the southern Chaco region which it calmed.
it also abandoned hope of an outlet of its own to the Atlantic along the Paraguay river, at a point where the river is navigable for large vessels.
despite having no coastline, Bolivia still has a nave of some 4000 men.
they are confined, to the calm waters of Titicaca high in the Andes and to rivers on the fringes of the Amazon basin.
