Just wondering.

its for a story and my mind is BLANK!

Answer 1

Ther are quite a few plots you could work on regarding Ancient Egyptian Royalty and the Royal Doctors.
There are famous Doctors such as one of my favorites, The Lady Peseshet.
She was Overseer of Physicians at the Giza building complex in the 5th Dynasty of the Old Kingdom.Making her the first female doctor recorded in history.
She would have been known as imyt-r swnw, in English phonetic translation, imeti-are sewnew.
We know of her from a stele discovered in the tomb of Akhet-hotep at Giza.Unfortunatley nothing is known of her personal life!Her tomb has not yet been located.
But Mark Lehner and Zahi Hawass are confident there will be more tombs of the professional medicos found at Giza. Just as the doctor of dentistry that was located mid last year.
What a Lady she must have been! To attain that position at a workers site. Although there was also a virtual town located there as well.
Housing the families ,priests,merchants all the people you would expect to find in a "company town".
There must have been some horrendus injuries to deal with.
For this she could call on the more junior doctors and others.Nurses,physiotherapists,incantations from "wab" priests and the bandagers,to just name some.
There are two large cemetaries at site of the famous Giza plataue.Which does not indicate that so many died,but that so many lived there, to die eventually.
It is food for thought!
Then there are the nessessary doctors for Royalty such as Rameses II the Great,who lived until 93.
He lived a very full and exciting life. The Battle of Kadesh,loosing his beloved Nefetarri and then facing and dealing with the ravages of old age.
He must have had remarkable Doctors.
Along with the Doctors he like the other Pharoahs, would have relied on the magical incantations of the wab priests.
Tutankhamun died from septiceamia from an injury he recieved racing then crashing his chariot. Like many young men today he loved to speed.
There was the probable need to cover the true father of Pharoah Hatshepsuts daughter,maybe she needed a doctors help to adjust the time the baby was concieved?
ThutmoseII himself was frail and sick and spent much of his time away from the royal base.He is thought to have suffered a renal or liver disease.Definatly the realm of a Doctor.
The Doctor dealt with magic,homophathy and medical treatmentand surgery.
To the Ancient Egyptians magic or heka, as it was called. Was an integral part of the healing process.
A Doctor in Ancient Egypt always considered 3 things after examining a patient.
Is it an ailment I can treat?
Is it an ailment with which I shall contend?
Is it an ailment not to be treated?
It is interesting that this forms the basis for priority in triage nursing these days!
There is a lot more to add but it would turn into a book itself.
I hope you get some helpful ideas.
Best of luck1

Answer 2

You might as well use the name of a real ancient egyptian doctor and the discovery of the mummy of a doctor below was reported in the media late last year. He was buried near the step pyramid of King Djoser at Saqqara. Try a search on the net for The physician in Ancient Egypt to get background information then use your imagination to write a simple story. Perhaps the doctor treated a member of the Royal family and as a reward the King gave him the money to have a tomb built in Saqqara. (This would have been a great honour) Was the patient injured in battle? or did the doctor help in the successful birth of a long awaited heir to the throne? Let your imagination go. Bet you write a great story!

Mummy of ancient doctor comes to light
BY RUSSELL JACKSON

EGYPTIAN archaeologists have discovered the funerary remains of a doctor who lived and worked in the country more than 4,000 years ago, including his mummy, sarcophagus and bronze surgical instruments.

The upper part of the tomb was discovered six years ago at Saqqara, 12 miles south of Cairo.

However, the sarcophagus only came to light in the burial pit as archaeologists carried out cleaning work.

The doctor, whose name was Qar, lived under the 6th dynasty and built his tomb near Egypt's first pyramid. The 6th dynasty ruled from about 2350BC to 2180BC.

Zahi Hawass, Egypt's government antiquities chief, said the lid of the wooden sarcophagus had excellent and well- preserved decoration and the mummy itself was in ideal condition. "The linen wrappings and the funerary drawings on the mummy are still as they were," he said.

"The mask which covers the face of the mummy is in an amazing state of preservation in spite of slight damage in the area of the mouth."

Also buried in the tomb along with the medic were earthenware containers bearing the doctor's name, as well as a round limestone offering table and 22 bronze statues of gods.
