Joshua, Vol. 2

Georg Moritz Ebers was a prominent German Egyptologist and novelist, renowned for discovering the Ebers Papyrus, one of the earliest medical texts. His academic journey included studying jurisprudence and Oriental languages, leading to professorships in Egyptian language and antiquities at Jena and Leipzig. Ebers conducted significant research in Egypt and published influential works, including "Ägypten und die Bücher Moses." His editing of the Ebers Papyrus in 1874 solidified his legacy in both literature and the field of Egyptology.
