Did you know that in the 18th century, there was a craze for consuming powdered mummies in Europe? Believed to have medicinal properties, these ancient remains were ground into a fine powder and used as a remedy for various ailments. This peculiar practice was fueled by the Renaissance fascination with antiquity and the belief that anything ancient must hold special powers. It's a fascinating reminder of how our understanding of medicine has evolved over time! 🏺✨
