Ancient Ebers Egyptian Medicine Papyrus

The prevention and cure of disease and the treatment of injuries were major concerns in ancient Egypt. Poorly understood in Egyptian society, illness informed much of their art. Featuring works from The Metropolitan Museum's collection, this fascinating book examines this relatively unexplored and underappreciated aspect of Egyptian art. It includes two introductory essays on Egyptian medicine, descriptions and photographs of sixty-four objects, and the first color reproduction of the Edwin Smith Papyrus in its entirety, accompanied by a full translation. One of the world's oldest scientific documents, the fifteen-foot-long Smith papyrus (now housed in the New York Academy of Medicine), discusses both practical and magical treatments of wounds and other maladies.

Evidence of the medical practice of ancient Egypt has come down to us not only in pictorial art but also in papyrus scrolls, in funerary inscriptions, and in the mummified bodies of ancient Egyptians themselves. Halioua and Ziskind provide a comprehensive account of pharaonic medicine that is illuminated by what modern science has discovered about the lives (and deaths) of people from all walks of life.

Georg Ebers - Papyrus EbersGeorg Moritz Ebers (Berlin, March 1, 1837 â€“ Tutzing, Bavaria, August 7, 1898), German Egyptologist and novelist, discovered the Egyptian medical papyrus, of ca 1550 BCE, named for him (see Ebers papyrus) at Luxor (Thebes) in the winter of 1873â€“74. Now in the library of the University of Leipzig, the Ebers papyrus is among the most important ancient Egyptian medical papyri.

Egyptian mathematics - Egyptian mathematics refers to the style and methods of mathematics performed by scribes in Ancient Egypt, deriving in large part from the rare discoveries of ancient papyri: in particular, the Rhind Mathematical Papyrus, dating from the Second Intermediate Period (though it is a copy of a now lost Middle Kingdom papyrus), and the Moscow Mathematical Papyrus, both of which appear to be mathematics textbooks.

Turin Papyrus Map - The Turin Papyrus is an ancient Egyptian map, generally considered the oldest surviving map of topographical interest from the ancient world. It is drawn on a papyrus reportedly discovered at Deir el-Medina in Thebes, collected by Bernardino Drovetti (known as Napoleon's Proconsul in Egypt) sometime before 1824 and is now preserved in Turin's Museo Egizio.
