Episode 9
Episode Overview
Beneath the waters off Italy's coast, a sunken Roman vessel safeguards the most ancient medical tablets ever examined. Across the Levant, containers shaped like poppies point to opium's early employment. Meanwhile, far within Borneo's caverns, a skeleton dating back 31,000 years bears evidence of a healed amputation, upending established assumptions about prehistoric surgical practices and healing.
