Absolutely amazing read!

I have reread this book multiple times already and it never fails to be extremely informative and insightful. While not an easy read, this book is thorough in its description and interpretation of ancient texts and never ceases to gain my attention. It might not be a book easily understood by the average casual reader, as it is written in a very academic manner (much like a historical scholarly article) but it is by the far the most detailed book about medicine in the world of Ancient Egypt!
