Magie & Medizin - Die Geheimnisse des Papyrus Ebers

At around 3,500 years old, the Ebers Papyrus is the oldest completely preserved medical manual in the world. Recipes were written down here on 18.6 meters in ancient Egypt. When Georg Ebers set out in search of the scroll in 1872, its existence was questionable and its sensational condition only a rumor.
