Memphis is home to the earliest pioneer of medicine
- The great medical innovator was Imhotep, the chief minister and head magician for the Third Dynasty Pharaoh Djoser (reigned c. 2686–2648 BC,) whose court was in Memphis.
- The medical advancements made in Memphis were remarkable for the era, partly thanks to the practice of mummification.
- The physicians of Memphis also developed many medical specializations. Each physician [was] a healer of one disease and no more, such as eye physicians or stomach physicians.
- The physicians discovered many effective treatments and pioneered areas, including surgery, nutrition, pharmacology, and prosthetics.
