It is because Galen based his information about anatomy on what he had found out during dissecting the bodies of animals. This created mistakes on his claims in human anatomy. Some of these anatomical errors were the following:

1.       He thought muscles are attached to the bone just like in dogs.

2.       He thought that the liver produces blood. He then realized that it flowed around the body, but he claimed that is burned fuel for the muscle.

3.       He thought that there are holes through the septum, which allowed the blood to flow from one side to another of the heart.

4.       He thought that there are blood vessels in the brain.

5.       He thought human’s jaw was made up of two bones just like a dog’s.

6.       He made mistakes about the liver’s shape.

Can u think of another way the egytians might have tried to reduce frictiona to move the heavy blocks
e-lub [12.9K]
The Egyptians used a weird method to reduce friction by pouring water onto the sand, causing the sand to clump together and make it easier to pull along due to the reason that each individual piece of sand doesn't hold it back. They called this weird technique capillary bridges.
