(pleasecall first 284-7080, fax 284-

So, before we continue with
structure and contemporary projec­
tions, I’ll take this opportunity to
I the requests o f several teachers
for some motivational material, e.g.,
documentation o f the very early
(earliest) black presence in the
medical field (seminal).

To be continued next week.
This noted medical historian,
Atkinson, goes back 7,000 years to
describe a region that included
thiopia and Nubia as well as Egypt
proper. He leaves no doubt that
Africa is the birthplace o f medical
science,” but his testim ony and
documentation which has been pre­
served and forwarded through the
iges. These records illuminate the
role o f the first teachers o f a science
that has enabled mankind to perse­
vere in his little ecological niches all
these millenniums, surviving plagues,
pestilence and daily affronts to his
physical well being.
A very informative text on the
su b je c t is “ T he P h y sic ia n s o f
P h a ro n ic
E g y p t,” by
Paul
Ghalioungui; (1983). He furnishes
on page 43 a chart showing the titles
given physicians over a 4,000 year
period, BC. The following titles are
examples: Physician o f the King,
chief o f Physicians o f the King, In-
spectorofthe Physicians o f the King,
chief o f the Physicians o f the K ing’s
Wife, M asterofthe Physicians o f the
Lord o f the T wo Countries (The presi­
dent o f the United States never had it
so good). Now, these were just Royal
physicians, there were also lay phy­
sicians for the masses. Interesting
and somewhat humorous are the titles
o f some o f the specialties: Physician
o f the Belly, Shepherd o f the Anus,
Interpreter o f the Liquids Hidden in
the Body, Operator o f the T ooth and
So Forth. These were all rungs on a
ladderthat could beclimbed on “sheer
personal merit" without support from
family or inheritance.
The greatest o f Egyptian physi­
cians in fact the greatest in all the
ancient world, was Imhoteps, also
the designer and builder o f the Step
Pyramid. So great were his abilities
and reputation that thousands o f years
later he w as defied by the Greeks and
in their usual manner they placed
him in their pantheon o f gods as
Aesculapius.
There is a chapter “Egyptian Phy­
sicians A broad” in the book by
Ghalioungui. Not only is this mate­
rial important to our understanding
ot the worldw ide dispersion and per­
manence o f African science in an
cient times, but equal stature is evi
dent in the areas o f international
relations and trade. Here is a sig
nificant instance In a letter to the
Egyptian King, Miqmad o f Ugart
(Iraq-Asia, request, “My Lord would
you send two Nubian pages and a
place physician, w e have no physi
cians here. “ In 2000 BC was
Boghazkoy, 50 miles east o f A n­
kara (Turkey), where archives un
covered have revealed intense dip­
lomatic activity between Egypt and
the great pow ers o f the Near East
A ssy re a , B a b y lo n , S y ria and
Mesopotamia, a comical exchange
o f letters occurs when Pharoh
Ramesess II tries to diplomatically
explain to a Hittite ruler that he
cannot furnish a drug which will
enable a 60 year old woman to con­
ceive.
There is much errata that could
be included here but space does not
permit, for instance, there were
C oroner’s offices which certified
accidents and performed autopsies
There were veterinarians and phar­
macists who made up and dispensed
drugs. Special medical personnel
was assigned to ships and military
expeditions.
Documentation Set, B: Ex­
cerpts from the Classic ‘Time-
Life Books, Inc, publication, “An­
cient Egypt” (p p .147,148)
There were doctors in Egypt who
practiced real medicine even by
modern detinition-the first in the
w orld’s history. A good part o f the
proof comes from the Edwin surgi­
cal Papyrus, which is named for the
American Egyptologist who ac­
quired it. The document is a m ile­
stone in the history o f medicine. It
