Other evidence of ancient Egyptian medicine was also uncovered. The research team analyzed the skull of a woman who was about 50 years old. She lived between 664 and 343 B.C.E.
The woman’s skull contained two lesions that were caused by a traumatic brain injury. Experts believe that someone attacked her with a sharp knife.
In addition, there was a cancer-related lesion that did not appear to receive any treatment.
Moving forward, Camarós and his team want to find out if other ancient societies studied cancer as well.
