All human societies have medical beliefs that provide explanations for birth, death, and disease. Throughout history, illness has been attributed to witchcraft, demons, adverse astral influence, or the will of the gods. These ideas still retain some power, with faith healing and shrines still used in some places, although the rise of scientific medicine over the past millennium has altered or replaced mysticism in most cases.
Through human history, medicine, and medical care has been critical for many civilizations, helping them to be more advanced. From the ancient Egyptians with one of the most advanced medical systems, in pharaonic times, keeping their people as one of the most healthiest in the ancient times. Also in those days, first recorded surgeries was executed, and born several of the actual medical specialities (being several of them not so advanced as now). However, the Babylonians also made great contributions to medicine and it was from them that the conceptual notions of diagnosis, prognosis, and medical examination (amongst others) originated.
