History of Medicine.. Among Ancient and Modern Nations

The history of medicine is divided into stages according to their history among ancient nations, and the author has separated them into sections according to the scope of the place. For example, he dealt with the topic of medicine among the Egyptians, who were known to be among the oldest doctors. Because their belief in the survival of bodies and the return of souls to them led them to preserve the bodies of the dead, so they created "mummification" in which they excelled other nations. In the Book of Genesis, there is a reference to the mummification of the body of "Jacob" on the orders of his son Joseph, the vizier of the king of Egypt, and their priests in their temples were doctors.
In the ancient monuments, there are pictures of their oldest priestly surgeons performing bloodletting and amputations, and performing cauterization on the nape, temples, and chest as a cure for some diseases. The secrets of their industry were written on the walls of their temples in their (sacred) hieroglyphic language, all of which indicate their skill in medicine and surgery, and a third of the country's income was allocated to their physician priests.
