Can Ancient Egyptian Medicine Help Survivalists

October 31, 2010 - "Can Ancient Egyptian Medicine Help Survivalists" By Joseph Parish. As any of my friends and family knows I am an avid fan of ancient Egypt, in fact at one point as a young man I came very close to becoming an archeologist. The ancient Egyptian civilization was extremely advanced in the amount of knowledge they possessed concerning the human body. They become experts on the internal functions of the body by way of their mummification process. They fully understood most of the bodies internal organs since nowhere in their religious beliefs was it forbidden to open and examine a dead body. This allowed them the opportunity to completely study the various systems that made up the human cadaver. Click here

When War is Inevitable

October 27, 2010 - "When War is Inevitable" By Joseph Parish. There is much that a survivalist can learn from Sun Tzu’s book entitled “The Art of War’.

It would be virtually impractical for me to portray the entire contents of Sun’s manuscript in this short span of space allocated for my article.
