About the author

Born in Berlin in 1837, Georg Ebers studied law before moving into Oriental languages and archaeology. He went on to teach Egyptology at Jena and Leipzig, building a strong reputation as a scholar of ancient Egypt.

Ebers is especially linked with the Ebers Papyrus, an important ancient Egyptian medical manuscript that came into his possession in the 1870s. Alongside his academic work, he became a popular novelist, writing historical fiction that drew on his knowledge of Egypt and the ancient Mediterranean world.

His novels were known for combining careful research with lively storytelling, which helped bring distant history closer to general readers. He died in 1898, but he remains notable both as a serious Egyptologist and as a writer who made the ancient past feel dramatic and accessible.
