“Documents dating back 3,500 years [prove] that the origins of modern medicine lie in ancient Egypt and not with Hippocrates and the Greeks.
“The research team from the KNH Centre for Biomedical Egyptology at The University of Manchester discovered the evidence in medical papyri written in 1,500BC – 1,000 years before Hippocrates was born.” [link to Science blog]
