What happened when people were sick? what was their medical knowledge like?
There were many cures to when people where sick, just like modern times there were doctors and priests. Priests these days for mental or spiritual curing are known as physiotherapists. Although doctors did not have access to the technology that we have these days, it has been proven that our medical implements that we use today came from ancient Egypt. As Egypt was a very religious place, it was believed that anytime that someone was sick there was some type of evil spirit lurking in ones self. Apart from the doctors treatment there was a more religious way with the name of Temple sleep. This was suspected to cure the evil sprits inside a person. During temple sleep you spend a night on your own in a temple, and the god of that temple will play false dreams in your head through the night to be translated in the morning.
