Medicine and mummification during the era of the Pharaohs

Over the centuries, the ancient Egyptians became interested in medical sciences and worked to spread its circulation and facilitate its teaching, so that it would not remain a treasure confined to the chests and access to its precious things would be difficult. They saw that establishing schools in the regional capitals to teach this art was more likely to benefit the people and better serve humanity, so that medicine would not remain as talismans monopolized by ambitious individuals who would provide their personal benefit rather than helping patients with what they needed, no matter how dangerous they were.They chose for these schools people who were trusted for their trustworthiness, chastity, and virtue, who were virtuous, compassionate, and compassionate towards the weak. They were known for shaving their heads, wearing leopard skins on their backs, and using clothes woven from thick linen as a emblem by which they would be known wherever they were.
