Lessons from the Ancient World
What the ancient inhabitants of Greece, Rome, and Mesopotamia can teach us about health, wealth, and ethics
During ancient times, wise men and women shaped our modern notions about democracy, medicine, diet, ethics, art, and other important concepts. As more and more people turn to the "paleo" (ancient) way of doing things, it is useful to examine the contributions of ancient Greece, Rome, Egypt, Israel, and Mesopotamia and learn (or re-learn) the valuable lessons those great civilizations left behind. Participant handouts will include ancient recipes, remedies, and fascinating facts from antiquity that may still be relevant today.
