How Did Ancient Egyptian Women Handle Their Periods? --- 📖 NEW EBOOK: Life in Ancient Egypt — our illustrated ebook. 121 pages, an original hand-drawn illustration on every page, one life from birth to burial. 🎬 First 100 buyers get their name in the next video. 👉 https://ancientegyptian.gumroad.com/l... --- In this video, we go deep on one civilization's relationship with menstruation: the linen technology behind the myth of papyrus tampons, the Kahun Gynecological Papyrus (the oldest medical text about women's health on Earth, dating to 1825 BCE), the barley-and-emmer urine pregnancy test that modern researchers actually tested, the unresolved debate over "the place of women" at Deir el-Medina, and the blood-red tyet amulet that protected the dead in the name of Isis. Along the way, we do the math on how often an ancient Egyptian woman actually menstruated — and the answer flips the entire question on its head. What's the one accidental, throwaway thing from your life you'd want to survive 3,000 years?
