Joshua, Vol. 4

Ebers, a prominent German Egyptologist and novelist, gained fame for discovering the Ebers Papyrus, a significant ancient medical document. His academic journey began with studies in jurisprudence and Oriental languages, leading to professorships in Egyptian language and antiquities at Jena and Leipzig. Ebers conducted two scientific expeditions to Egypt, contributing to the field with works such as "Ägypten und die Bücher Moses" and the edited translation of the medical papyrus he unearthed in Thebes. His scholarly contributions have had a lasting impact on Egyptology.
