Among these discoveries is a captivating representation of trepanation in Ancient Egypt, showcasing their pioneering approach to cranial surgery. Bronze surgical instruments, meticulously crafted by skilled Egyptian artisans, were instrumental in these groundbreaking procedures. These tools, showcased in manuscripts such as Ms 89 Ter fol. 122r and fol. 122v from Abul Qasim Kalaf ibn al-Abbas' treatise, provide invaluable insights into the precision and expertise required for successful surgeries during that era.
