What are the Papyrus Ebers?Show answer
The Papyrus Ebers, one of the longest surviving Egyptian medical texts (roughly 110 columns, containing over 700 remedies and prescriptions), carries a calendar note on its verso conventionally dated to Year 9 of Amenhotep I, placing its compilation firmly within this dot point's timeframe. It combines genuinely empirical material, including a "Book of the Heart" section describing the heart, its vessels, and the practice of taking a pulse, with magical incantations recited alongside treatment.
