Magie &amp; Medizin: Die Geheimnisse des Papyrus Ebers

About 3,500 years old, the Ebers papyrus is considered the oldest medical treatise in the world. When, in 1873, the German Egyptologist Georg Ebers ventured down the Nile to find it in Luxor - the ancient Thebes, capital of the Pharaohs - the existence of the precious document was still only a rumor. Finally delivered to the public in 1875 and preserved since then in the University Library of Leipzig, this scroll, more than 18 meters long, contains some 877 ancient remedies to treat hair loss, coughs, eye and heart ailments or digestive problems. Mixing medicine and magic, can this knowledge, transmitted from generation to generation and strictly reserved for a restricted elite in ancient Egypt, prove useful in the 21st century?
