Archaeologists Discover Tomb of Pharaoh’s Doctor and Magician

A French-Swiss archaeological team has found the tomb of Titi Nab Fu, a royal doctor and magician during Egypt’s Sixth Dynasty under King Pepi II. The tomb, located south of Saqqara, features intricate carvings, funerary scenes, and inscriptions detailing Titi Nab Fu’s roles as a chief doctor, priest, dentist, and magician of the Goddess Serket.

New discoveries include a stone sarcophagus, a painted red ceiling resembling granite, and intact walls depicting daily life and cultural practices. Despite evidence of ancient looting, the site provides invaluable insights into Old Kingdom medical practices, including surgeries, dentistry, and pharmacology.
