Subtitles (87 segments)
It’s another sweltering morning in Memphis, Egypt.
As the sunlight brightens the Nile, Peseshet checks her supplies.
Honey,
garlic,
cumin,
acacia leaves,
cedar oil.
She’s well stocked with the essentials she needs to treat her patients.
Peseshet is a swnw, or a doctor.
In order to become one,
she had to train as a scribe
and study the medical papyri stored at the Per Ankh, the House of Life.
Now, she teaches her own students there.
Before teaching, Peseshet has a patient to see.
One of the workers at the temple construction site has injured his arm.
When Peseshet arrives,
the laborer’s arm is clearly broken,
and worse, the fracture is a sed, with multiple bone fragments.
