Ancient Egyptian Neurosurgery

Ancient Egyptian Neurosurgery is the real deal. The Edwin Smith papyrus, dating back to around 3000BC, shows evidence of 48 neurosurgery and orthopaedic cases being treated. This was also a time when magic was used to treat medical conditions. Explore more about Ancient Egyptian Neurosurgery in this video!

I get the feeling the doctors had some less than willing test subjects in order to find out what they found out .

[@logandunson4485]

We’ve found that Hydrocephalus is actually exactly what u said originally. Your later definition was really the same thing as the original. Where there modern definition states the skulls enlarged appearance is due to pressure within the skull. Well yeah, pressure witjin the skull due to large Imbalances or constant accumulation of fluids within the surrounding the brain causing it to constantly be under pressure and inflammation within the skull causing the skull to be stretched and grow at an abnormal rate. It can be manger relatively easily in the United States today which is what’s most sad about this condition when you see little kids in some third world countries across the world who’s child’s heads could be essentially drained and treated at a young age and avoid so much more pain and agony. Instead they grow until they essentially die from the pressure on their brain which gets so big and immense that it essentially smothers their brain over a very long period of time .

[@ABCFacts101]

The Sumerians divided the day in 24 h , an year in 360 days because they were using 6 base numbers. Not the Egyptians.

[@coalyboi7939]

You always make me love neurosurgery but I'll still choose plastic surgery 😊😊😊

[@jamesproudlock3119]

Majority of them never went to after life.

[@logandunson4485]

I would be totally down with those parts of the world practicing clean and safe trepanation. There should atleast be some non profit organization or United Nations run project that will provide clinics materials and training to do simple procedures like throes that could drastically change the way people get to live their lives by having just primitive knowledge and tools in the form of medical procedures at their disposal. when instead they are ultimately forced out of the jungles and living off the land to living in a “modern world”with none of the actual modern advantages and basically all of the shifty disadvantages of modern society.

THE KNOWLEDGE OF FOREVER TIME FLOOR SHOW DODO MORRISON

[@logandunson4485]

The only condimtion that seems ti create people with cone heads which doesn’t exist anymore in the present day seems to be a genealogical or biological condition where I truly believe they are a very similar but off shoot of the modern day human. Like a denisovan. Look in to the large amount of legit elongated skulls found in Peru that grew like that naturally. They even have a fetus skull with these different genealogical characteristics like the immense size,shape, density of bones, brain size, hair color, and actual skill structure that only exhibit two out of the three suture marks or growth plates in our skulls as well. As if they were a completely different being that is modern day humans

[@adruvitpandit5816]

Alhamdulillah, Very nice!

[@jamesproudlock3119]

Pharaoh…. pharmacy… you getting it ?
