The oldest brain surgery in the world: performed by the Pharaohs and was successful and the "skull" is located in London
Prehistoric civilizations developed forms of surgeries, the oldest based on evidence, the Negev, so that the skull opens or a small hole is dug in it to remove the cap from the dura, in order to treat diseases related to intracranial pressure, and this evidence was found in the remains of prehistoric humans that It dates back to the Neolithic period.
The paintings on the walls of the caves revealed that this procedure continued for a long time; what is surprising is that patients of this era, in addition to patients in the pre-Neolithic period, survived these operations and showed signs of healing of the skull.
Dr. Waseem Al-Sisi, Professor of Urology, Fellow of the Royal Colleges of Surgeons in England, and the Egyptologist, concluded in his book "Egypt taught the world" that the Pharaonic civilization was exposed to an injustice that no other civilization had experienced due to ignorance of it, especially from its children who many of them do not know The oldest brain surgeries in history took place in their country more than four thousand years ago
He added that he saw in the Egyptology Department of the British Museum in London a skull in a glass box that read "Turbine surgery from brain surgeries .. ancient Egypt 2000 years BC", and two women were in front of him, and one of them said to the other, "Look, brain brain surgery .. where was England in this distant time? ”
And Al-Sisi adds that they are also considered to be the first to perform the turpening process and the operation was successful. The brain would be cleared, so they understood well in the human body, and what helped them understand its minutes was mummification.
Dr. Adel Fouad Ramzi, Professor of Surgery at Kasr Al-Aini Medicine, confirms that Egypt was the first in the world in surgery, more than 3000 BC, when invented surgical instruments painted on the walls of the Karnak Temple, many of which resemble modern machines.
It indicates that the Egyptians have performed multiple operations since the dawn of history, and the first operation was a skull turbine.
Thousands of years ago, the most advanced neurosurgery technique, or what was available at the time, was to drill directly into the patient's head, which was seen as a solution to all kinds of psychological problems.
This practice is known, as excavators have discovered, and according to neurosurgeon Charles G. Gross, the oldest known surgery, which is called "turpentation", was a technique widely known among different cultures; it was practiced in different ancient peoples.
Excavators have discovered "dusty" skulls, meaning traces of skull digging have been found in burial sites around the world. These wounds are distinguished from other head trauma in their shape and location on the skull, and there is evidence of treatment and healing.
