Magic and Medicine of Ancient Mesopotamia. From the Demons Pazuzu and Lamashtu to the Asu Healers and Exorcists of Babylon
14.99 €
What and how did the inhabitants of Mesopotamia treat themselves? Who did they rush to first: a sorcerer or a doctor? How did astrology help them? Who was "registered" as a witch and when did they resort to the services of exorcists?
One of the first places where magic and medicine unite, standing up for the protection of human life, is considered to be Ancient Mesopotamia. When demons send diseases, longevity depends on the will of the gods, and one epidemic replaces another, special safety measures and healing practices are necessary.

From this book you will learn about the healers who lived between the Tigris and Euphrates, about what amulets protected against evil spirits, what injuries were dealt with surgically and why people wanted to meet the dead as soon as possible.
