How did ancient Egyptian medicine, which had made brilliant achievements, decline?

The decline of ancient Egyptian medicine was mainly due to the destruction of Egyptian culture during the Persian occupation. In this process, of course, ancient Egyptian medicine with special status was not spared.

Ancient Egyptian civilization is one of the four ancient civilizations. Although it has declined now, we can still see the glory and broadness of ancient Egyptian civilization through some preserved murals or existing pyramids and other buildings. Among them, in ancient Egypt, medical civilization has formed the embryonic form of modern medical system. For example, there are very detailed regulations on diet, hygiene and corpse disposal. Especially for the disposal of corpses, it is more advanced than other civilizations of the same period.

It can be vaguely seen from ancient books that medicine at that time was greatly influenced by religious culture. Just like the health regulations we mentioned before, the provisions of the religious code have evolved. In this case, doctors in Egypt have formed a special group, which is attached to religion and bound by the code. Generally speaking, doctors in ancient Egypt belonged to sacrificial titles and enjoyed aristocratic rights.

In the heyday of ancient Egyptian medicine, Egypt was attacked by Persians. The Persians were very clever. They knew that in order to resist the Egyptian resistance, they had to start by destroying their culture. So a large number of ancient cultures in Egypt have been destroyed, including medicine. In this way, Egypt's medical system has been seriously damaged, and many valuable medical experiences and classics have been destroyed.

Although the Persians were later defeated, the victorious countries also took some measures to revive the culture, but the results were minimal. After all, ancient Egyptian medicine has become pseudo-medicine, a trick used by magicians and drug dealers to cheat money.

The medical culture in ancient Egypt is a typical medical system formed on the basis of summing up a lot of experience. From some ancient books, we can still vaguely see the subtleties of ancient Egyptian medicine. After all, this is the cultural essence of a nation that has gathered for hundreds of years. It must be said that the decline of ancient Egyptian medicine is a kind of sorrow.
