Guest guest Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 I've had a very interesting and somewhat enlightening last couple of days. On Saturday I wen to our local, tiny Farmer's Market and met two of the ladies there. They are starting to really get organized, website, the whole thing. I found out that the Parks & Wildlife Dept. has community classes where I could teach how to make herbal wreaths, and I can bring my bath scrubs to the local Farmer's market. I also met a local beekeeper there. Of course I asked him about our local bee population which appears to be strong. He said he thinks a lot of the problems are on the East Coast and that it's inherent with the moving around of bees - I guess that exposes them to diseases and such out of their normal areas. He was a pretty country looking kind of guy, but was definitely on the ball when it came to knowledge -- like a lot of folks around here he's associated with Texas A & M. He was quoting the most recent research out of USC. Then last night I watched what I believe may have been a re-run of " Digging for the Truth " with Josh Bernstein on the History Channel (is it just me, or do some of you ladies think he's really cute?) Apparently King Tut was not murdered, but now they think he died from complications of a broken femur. Josh went to a physician who's studied ancient Egyptian healing arts. He showed Josh how the doctors back then would've treat King Tut. All of it was sort of what you would've expected: honey for infection, willow bark for pain, etc. But then he pulled out some molded pita bread: penicillin. I was surprised ... I did not know the ancient Egyptians knew about penicillin. Knowledge that ended up being lost for thousands of years, I suppose?

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 I would not doubt it. The construction of the great pyramid with the series of metal rooms could/would have acted like a giant version of the ark of the covenant and been a huge generator for electricity. Cheers.
