Georg Moritz Ebers was a prominent German Egyptologist and novelist, renowned for discovering the Ebers Papyrus, one of the oldest medical texts. His academic journey included studying jurisprudence and Oriental languages, leading to professorships in Egyptian language and antiquities at Jena and Leipzig. Ebers published significant works, including "Ägypten und die Bücher Moses," and edited the celebrated medical papyrus he found in Thebes, contributing greatly to the understanding of ancient Egyptian medicine and culture.
