Ancient Birth Rituals explores the fascinating ceremonies and beliefs surrounding childbirth in ancient civilizations, revealing their lasting impact on modern practices and perceptions. From Ancient Egypt birth practices to those in Mesopotamia, Greece, Rome, and China, the book unveils how these societies understood conception, gestation, and delivery through mythology and religion. These ancient societies believed deities played a crucial role in childbirth, such as Hathor in Egypt, demonstrating the desire to invoke divine blessings for both mother and child.

The book also investigates the roles of ancient midwives and the use of herbal remedies, highlighting the specialized knowledge surrounding pregnancy and delivery. The book progresses thematically, starting with core concepts and developing ideas across chapters, examining the role of deities, the evolution of specialized knowledge, and the symbolic meanings within birth rituals.
