Archaeologists make an amazing discovery in Morocco

This plant called "Ephedra" or "Alenda" was found in the form of charred fruits in an area of the cave where men from the Upper Paleolithic period, between 22,000 and 7,000 years before Christ, were buried, the results of this study, published in the journal Nature, revealed. It is a medicinal plant, as it helped to treat colds, stop bleeding and relieve pain. Evidence of the oldest surgical operation in the world, performed 15,000 years ago on a human skull, has been discovered. The study also revealed the healing of the wound thanks to the use of these plants.

These plants were also found in the form of pollen grains in a burial attributed to Neanderthal Man dating back about 40,000 years. The study does not rule out the hypothesis that these plants were used for rites related to burial, revealing the perfect knowledge of men about these plants and their use, since the period before the Neolithic, i.e. more than 8,000 years before Christ.
