In "How to Mellify a Corpse", Vicki León explores the intersection of science and superstition in the ancient world, spanning Athens, Rome, Mesopotamia, the Holy Land, Egypt, and Carthage. The book delves into diverse subjects such as astronomy, astrology, philosophy, practicalities of life and death, including the ancient method of embalming, and ancient mechanical engineering. While it invokes legendary thinkers like Pythagoras, Aristotle, and Archimedes, it also delves into the lives of everyday people and their beliefs.
This book is a feast for the curious mind, catering not only to those interested in the experimental, but also to anyone inspired by humanity's imagination and ingenuity in understanding the world.
