An ancient Egyptian toothpaste recipe, written on papyrus in the 4th century AD, has been discovered in Austria’s National Library. With ingredients like mint, salt, pepper grains, and dried iris flower, the formula was far ahead of its time, even compared to what was used until Colgate’s first toothpaste in 1873. Modern research has revealed that iris is an effective agent against gum disease, adding further intrigue to this ancient creation.
Dr David Catchpoole explores how such discoveries challenge the view that early humans were primitive, offering insights from a biblical perspective on human ingenuity.
