Abstract

[Medical knowledge in ancient Egypt had an excellent reputation, and rulers of other

empires would ask the Egyptian pharaoh to send them their best physician to treat their loved

ones. Egyptians had some knowledge of human anatomy. For example, in the classic

mummification process, mummifies knew how to insert a long hooked implement through a

nostril, breaking the thin bone of the brain case and remove the brain. They also must have had a

general idea of the location in the body cavity of the inner organs, which they removed through a

small incision in the left groin. Egyptian physicians were aware of the existence of the pulse and

of a connection between pulse and heart.. Surgery was a common practice among physicians as

treatment for physical injuries. The Egyptian physicians recognized three categories of injuries;

treatable, contestable, and untreatable ailments. Treatable ailments the surgeons would quickly

set to right.

From the images that often adorn the walls of Egyptian tombs and the translation of the

accompanying inscriptions. The ancient Egyptians were at least partially aware of the importance

of diet, both in balance and moderation. Owing to Egypt's great endowment of fertile land, food

production was never a major issue, although, no matter how bountiful the land, paupers and

starvation still exist. Like many civilizations in the past, the ancient Egyptians amply discovered

the medicinal properties of the plant life around them. In the Edwin Smith Papyrus there are

many recipes to help heal different ailments. In a small section of this papyrus, there are five

recipes one dealing with problems women, They used knives, hooks, drills, forceps, pincers,

scales, spoons, saws and a vase with burning incense.

Ancient Egyptian medical instruments depicted in a Ptolemaic period inscription on the

Temple of KOM OMBO. The Edwin Smith Papyrus is a textbook on surgery and details

anatomical observations and the "examination, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis" of numerous

ailments. The Ebers papyrus c. 1550 BC is full of incantations, and also includes 877

prescriptions. The Kahun Gynecological Papyrus treats women's complaints, including problems

with conception. Thirty four cases detailing diagnosis and treatment survive, some of them

fragmentarily. Dating to 1800 BC, it is the oldest surviving medical text of any kind. Other

documents such as the Hearst papyrus (1450 BC), and Berlin Papyrus (1200 BC) also provide

valuable insight into ancient Egyptian medicine.]
