The Emperor, Vol. 1

Georg Moritz Ebers, a prominent German Egyptologist and novelist, is renowned for discovering the Ebers Papyrus, a significant ancient medical text. His academic journey included studying jurisprudence and Oriental languages, leading to professorships in Egyptian language and antiquities at Jena and Leipzig. Ebers conducted two scientific expeditions to Egypt, and his notable work, "Ägypten und die Bücher Moses," was published in the late 1860s. His expertise culminated in the editing of the Ebers Papyrus, which he uncovered in Thebes.
