Where does papyrus grow?
The Cyperus papyrus plant is fairly cosmopolitan in range and is part of the sedge group of plants. It occurs naturally in north and central Africa (as well as areas of the "fertile crescent" between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers) and grows along rivers, streams and lakes. The plants claim to fame is that it was used about 6,000 years ago by the ancient Egyptians to produce Papyrus "paper", which was then used to record events and daily life on. Due to the extremely dry climate in much of north Africa, these scrolls, if they were stored correctly are still readable today enabling archaeologists to piece together ancient life along the Nile. Although the plant was used extensively in Egypt for this purpose, does not mean that the plant originated there. It's other uses included mats, sandals, baskets and reed boats. Thor Heyerdahl's famous Ra expedition boats were constructed of papyrus. While the use of Papyrus as a writing material was Egyptian in origin, the Egyptians never called it "papyrus", the name is derived from Greek and Latin. See related links.
What were the names of some of the medicines that ancient Egyptians created?
The Ancient Egyptians were at least partially aware of the importance of diet, both in balance and moderation. Surgery was a common practice among physicians as treatment for physical injuries. A few papyri have survived, from which we can learn about Egyptian medicine: The Edwin Smith Papyrus describing surgical diagnosis and treatments, the Ebers Papyrus on ophthalmology, diseases of the digestive system, the head, the skin and specific maladies like aAa, which some think may have been a precursor of aids and others, perhaps more reasonably, consider to have been a disease of the urinary tract, a compilation of earlier works that contains a large number of prescriptions and recipes, the Kahun Gynaecological Papyrus, the Berlin Medical Papyrus, the London Medical Papyrus. the Hearst medical papyrus repeats many of the recipes found in the Ebers papyrus. the Demotic Magical Papyrus of London and Leiden contains a number of spells for treating physical ailments. /-The practice of medicine is very specialized among them. Each physician treats just one disease. The country is full of physicians, some treat the eye, some the teeth, some of what belongs to the abdomen, and others internal diseases. Herodotus, Histories 2,84-/ Herbs played a major part in Egyptian medicine so they had extensive use of therapeutic herbs and foods. The plant medicines mentioned in the Ebers papyrus for instance include opium, cannabis, myrrh, frankincense, fennel, cassia, senna, thyme, henna, juniper, aloe, linseed and castor oil. Egyptians thought garlic and onions aided endurance, and consumed large quantities of them.
