- Mesopotamians and Egyptians recognize different types of pain, such as burning and stabbing. Where there is no obvious injury, pain is attributed to demons, ghosts or gods. Mesopotamians think that these attack by touching or striking the body; Egyptians say that the spirits enter the body through the ears and nostrils. Physicians sometimes use narcotics such as opium or the poisonous plant henbane (Hyoscyamus niger) to relieve pain, but treatment consists mainly of spells or prayers.
