    As an ethnobotanist I will tell you the Egyptians were so advanced at herbal pharmacopeia. They were so accomplished that the large censors you see in hieroglyphics were used to burn different admixtures of over 100 different botanical substances. These included cannabis,blue lotus,psilocibin, sacred river cane

      well if you think about it, the indigenous people of the Americas spent much of their time walking around testing plants, and animals like frogs. some built temples and sacrificed people because their blood was powerful. Dr ammon hillman talks about greeks and their neighbors doing the same. Terence McKenna spent years in S.A. looking for automated bouncing talking gremlins after doing ayahuasca face it man/woman like the effects. not only to see gods but to be them.

    In college I did some lame undergraduate work (never published) using wormwood extracts as an insecticide and found some interesting results. An ethanolic tincture of wormwood would cause crickets to suffer seizures and then die. This would have been caused by thujone molecules suppressing GABA signal transduction in insect nervous systems. This is the same method of action that can get us humans high.
    The idea of using wormwood extract in ink seems plausible to me. But I wonder if the thujone would evaporate from the ink once dried. There is another molecule found in wormwood called absithin, which is water soluble and catastrophically bitter, that I figure would have stayed behind in the ink after drying. I'm not sure of its toxicity though. Someone should probably do some experimental archeology to figure this out.

    Absolutely fascinating! I would love to learn more about 2 things and waa curious if you had any suggestions on readings related to this subject.
    I am intrigued by the cultural sharing aspect of these traditions. Is there any clear subject that is consistently integrated into magical text in the meeting of new cultures? For example, is there always an adoption of hunting, creation, or knowledge themes? Or any notible exeptions in practice such as dietary laws?
    Second is that i am curious if there is a global president to ascribe natural phenomena to a deity with a character, such as what is often found around the mideterrain. I am thinking of the deities that have names and personalities such as the various pantheons such as the Egyptian and Greek. Do we see that sort of religious interpretation anywhere else in the world? Specifically outside of Europe.
    Thanks for the video!

    4:50 This Greek word "magoi" is the word used in the biblical Gospel of Matthew to describe the "magi" or "wise men from the East" who read in the stars that Jesus would be born. The plain rendition of the word in modern English would simply be "magician". Translators tend to try to hide the word's plain meaning due to modern Christianity's view on magic, but that's what the gospel says.
