Description

Book Synopsis
The skills of the ancient Egyptians in preserving bodies through mummification are well known, but their expertise in the everyday medical practices needed to treat the living is less familiar and often misinterpreted. John F. Nunn draws on his own experience as an eminent doctor of medicine and an Egyptologist to reassess the evidence.

Trade Review
-Nunn has spent over twenty years elucidating the intricacies of ancient Egyptian medicine. It is impossible in a short review to do justice to the extraordinary breadth and scholarship of this beautifully produced and illustrated text. Long may he continue to illuminate the many mysteries that remain.---BMJ: British Medical Journal
