The Roots Of Modern Science In Ancient Kemetic Egypt
In the modern Western world, science and religion have changed places in terms of which is regarded as ‘reality’ and what is most likely ‘just a fantasy’. In Medieval times religion was considered the true fundamental reality and science was theoretical, the fantasy world of eccentrics, philosophers, and dreamers. Yet there was a time when neither was the case, and the two worlds shared a different harmony. Kemet, the ‘Black Land’, the name ancient Egyptians called their land, was such a place.

Predating Egyptian Medicine
The cornerstone of Egyptian medicine for thousands of years far exceeded anything the world knew at that time in terms of clinical philosophy, detail, and sophistication in clinical treatment. The ancient Egyptians were known to have practiced surgery and trauma medicine. Obviously, to amass this kind of detailed information would take centuries upon centuries, not simply a couple of hundred years. There is a 2,400-year span of history between the standard field medical texts of the ancient Egyptians and the medicine of Hippocrates.
