Scientists have discovered a skull that depicts ancient Egyptians performing brain surgery for cancerous malignancy cell removal.
Archeologists have discovered a skull with tiny cut marks. A CT scan revealed a patient suffering from a malignant brain tumor, discovered by a search of his cranial walls.
The skull is believed to have existed between 2,686 and 2,345 BCE. Further findings revealed the use of sharp implements for precise cutting. Scientists and archeologists have further deduced that Egyptian physicians were withering from performing an autopsy to study the malignancies or remove them.
Research revealed Egyptians were the first to deal with cancerous malignancies. There is also evidence of such surgery from the Neolithic age.
The Egyptians’ use of sharp implements reinforces their precision. The discovery of medical dictionaries and treaties from Egypt is further evidence of Egyptian physicians’s precision. Archeological discoveries have also found a case of a female suffering from breast cancer.
Scientists across the globe praise this discovery and link it with their ancestors’ achievements.
