Ancient Egyptian surgeons, documented in the Edwin Smith Papyrus (c. 1600 BCE), performed brain surgeries and discovered that damage to one side of the brain causes paralysis on the opposite side of the body, a medical understanding that Western medicine would not confirm for another 2,000 years.

Ancient Egyptians Did BRAIN SURGERY 🧠⚡Added:
3,600 years ago, an Egyptian surgeon pressed a bronze blade to a patient's shattered skull. The Edwin Smith Papyrus documents 48 surgical cases, including operations on the living human brain.
This was not magic. This was medicine.
These surgeons diagnosed traumatic injuries, measured pulse rates, and documented that damage to one side of the brain paralyzed the opposite side of the body.
A discovery Western medicine wouldn't confirm for another 2,000 years. Ancient Egypt knew first.
