It's really fascinating that Leonardo was so far beyond his time.

Not really sure if this qualifies for GGG or not.

Or, maybe Leonardo was merely a traveler stranded in a backwards place.
France's King Frances(?) built a university for Leonardo Da Vinci. He then dispatched his cousin, Rene d'Anjou, with a fleet to Padua to fight a war to rescue Leonardo and bring him to the university.
Among others who accompanied Rene were Christopher Columbus and his brother.
Whole lotta' stuff changed in this world after that event!

I almost sounds as if Leonardo operated on living animals and people to get the info he got. How could he understand valve motion and blood flow otherwise? A dead heart doesn't seem like it would give up a lot of details.

Marconi is one of my personal favorite inventors. Without him, how would El Rushbo conduct his show? Morse code?

Every so often, a truly great mind comes along to bring an illumination. Da Vinci was one of those.

Reminds me a program I saw recently on the History Channel about Galen the physician. He was performing cataract surgeries in ancient Rome. But the technology was completely lost in Medieval Europe.

Thanks Waggs. Definitely a GGG ping. Faulty mitral valves are generally congenital, and are one of the few heart problems that disproportionately affects women. Bad cases can kill in the patient's 40s, and can be overlooked, finally being found in the autopsy. Ultrasounds are sufficiently refined nowadays that the problem can be detected without a catheter look-see. Coleus, a health topic ping.
To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list. Thanks. Please FREEPMAIL me if you want on or off the
"Gods, Graves, Glyphs" PING list or GGG weekly digest
-- Archaeology/Anthropology/Ancient Cultures/Artifacts/Antiquities, etc.
