Sinossi

Ancient Birth Rituals explores the fascinating ceremonies and beliefs surrounding childbirth in ancient civilizations, revealing their lasting impact on modern practices and perceptions. From Ancient Egypt birth practices to those in Mesopotamia, Greece, Rome, and China, the book unveils how these societies understood conception, gestation, and delivery through mythology and religion. These ancient societies believed deities played a crucial role in childbirth, such as Hathor in Egypt, demonstrating the desire to invoke divine blessings for both mother and child.

 


 
The book also investigates the roles of ancient midwives and the use of herbal remedies, highlighting the specialized knowledge surrounding pregnancy and delivery. The book progresses thematically, starting with core concepts and developing ideas across chapters, examining the role of deities, the evolution of specialized knowledge, and the symbolic meanings within birth rituals. It demonstrates how these ancient beliefs have evolved, influencing modern obstetrics and cultural attitudes.

 


 
By drawing from archaeological finds, ancient texts like the Ebers Papyrus, and iconographic representations, Ancient Birth Rituals offers a unique, comparative perspective on the diverse yet common human responses to childbirth, appealing to those interested in world history and its relevance today.

    Beginning with a gang of guards and a handful of convicts, for more than 145 years Pentridge housed a who's who of Australian criminals and Melbourne's underworld including Ned Kelly and Mark 'Chopper' Read. 
    From solving the mystery of Ned Kelly's missing skull to the shocking truth about who really cut off Chopper's ears - Australia's Most Infamous Jail includes true and uncensored accounts of inmates (including a convicted serial killer, a mass murderer and the real Romper Stomper), guards, archaeologists and even a former governor-general. This is gritty, true crime storytelling, on steroids - about what life was really like behind the bluestone walls of Pentridge.
