Walk Like an Egyptian

So you think I had it rough? Brain surgery in 1848. No big deal.
Turns out the Egyptians were doing it.
This is a photo of something called the Edwin Smith Papyrus
From the 16th Century BC.
Oldest known surgical record. Describes head injuries and how to treat them. Described parts of the brain. How to close up wounds- wonder what they'd have done with me and the big crater in my skull.
