The ancient Egyptians didn't really distinguish between magic and medicine, so you'd find ailments related to bad spirits alongside illustrations of tools like scalpels and forceps, and mental health was treated at sleep temples where priests would help to interpret dreams that are messages from the gods.

Innit interesting? I think we all need a bit of magic back in our lives.
