Document Summary
Babylon we have handwritten scientific sources coming from babylon. Babylon also has libraries its interesting how much we can no about babylonian medical practice and at the same time how very little we actually no. Babylonian medicine is very old if a surgeon kills a man, he shall be put to death when a surgeon killed a man he was put to death. ^^ these 2 sentences are identical in babylonian theres no telling between them masmassu showing up a medical treatment, but most of the time we refer to the 2 asu and asipu. Egypt mummies and skeletons and the climate is much more favourable for preserving bodies. We can look at these mummies and understand medical problems in ancient egypt. Egyptian physicians and patients than there was babylonian. Egyptian medicine works similarly if we look at the edwin smith papyrus.
