Could balneology section be actually gastric section?

[Rafal]

We all have seen it - strange pipes and women bathing in green water in weird pools:



I don't know if it was already discussed but I haven't seen such a discussion.

So would would you say about a theory that it's not about bathing at all but about eating and digestion?

The pipes and pools would be stomach, intestines, spleen etc.
The green colour makes also sense then. If you vomit, then it's often kind of green   so the artist could imagine the stomach as full of green liquid.

And women? Well, that's the hardest part to explain. I think we can exclude that the author was a cannibal   So maybe they symbolically represent "components" of the food we eat? Of course the author didn't know about proteins, sugars or carbohydrates so he could think of four elements (earth, air, fire, water) or somthing similar. Or maybe some cosmic forces ruling your digestion?

By the way, if you were a kid in the 80s you may recall this series where everything inside a human body was represented as busy little men. Could VM author do something similar?

How do you think? Possible or very improbable?
