Edwin Smith Papyrus-Katie

 * the Edwin Smith Surgical Papyrus was copied around 1500 BC but has grammatical features that suggest that it could have been written as much as 1000 years earlier
 * in the writings of the papyrus, there is medical jargon that shows that the traditional composition was used as a reference piece and was even modernized later by ancient scholars
 * the Smith Papyrus focused on the straightforward nature of problems concerned more with wounds and fractures with obvious causes rather than mysterious internal illnesses
