Quote:We know today that fish contains omega-3 which is good for the brain after extensive experimentation yett the ancient Egyptians knew little of chemistry but were aware of this more than six thousand years ago. I don't know how they worked that out, but they knew somehow.Probably not. You can get something right for no reason or the wrong reasons but that doesn't qualify as "knowing". Keep in mind, the omega 3 bit is shaky as hell, especially as recieved from "eating fish". So what did they really "know" anyway?
To whit, fishing villages should be full of einsteins by now shouldn't they....but instead they're full of fishermen.
