PsychoEgypt and fat epigenetics
Horus, Ra and psychedelus
Apparently, Santa Claus isn’t the only psychedelic enjoyer (amanita muscaria 🍄).
And yeah, let’s not forget kykeon from Eleusinian Mysteries’ psychedelic orgies (likely ergot fungus 🌾)! Alas, they’re yearly only, but still.
Ages pass, molecular techniques sharepen, and we now know that egyptians most likely drank a mixture of:
harmala
egyptian lotus
bodily fluids (let’s hope they were gender-agnostic and healthy!)
honey/royal jelly 🐝
Babe y’know why they call me royal jelly
Our analyses revealed traces of Peganum harmala, Nimphaea nouchali var. caerulea, and a plant of the Cleome genus, all of which are traditionally proven to have psychotropic and medicinal properties. Additionally, the identification of human fluids suggests their direct involvement in these rituals. Furthermore, metabolomics and SR µ-FTIR analyses also revealed the presence of fermented fruit-based liquid and other ingredients such as honey or royal jelly.
Mesopotamians, it seems, were opioid and cannabis enjoyers.
You may say “okaay those guys were nuts”. But then again, how do you infuse a rung of magic into rituals?
Trance-like states (repeating mantras, movements like circling, shuckling, etc.)
Sex
Psychotropic and entheogenic substances
And possibly, rising from above - light hyperventilation/hypoxia!
Yo fat cells are so fat they remember!
Mice had obesity-induced alterations in the adipocyte epigenome that persisted after weight loss
It made them function and respond to ‘healthy’ stimuli worse
Mice carrying “obesogenic memory” showed accelerated rebound weight gain
Also, once insulin resistant - easier to get there afterwards. IR genes showed a similar epigenetic change pattern:
