MOSCOW, April 28 Archaeologists from the University of Budapest found the grave of a man who lived in the 1st century near the city of Yasberen in Hungary, according to the website of the educational institution . Scientists decided that he was a doctor. He was buried with surgical instruments.
Among them are scalpels made of copper alloy with silver coating, blades are replaceable and steel. Forceps, needles and tweezers were also found. There was also a special stone. It was probably used to mix ingredients for medicines.
For the 1st century AD, such instruments are of high quality. And scientists do not understand how a physician with such high-quality equipment could end up in those parts. Indeed, in the 1st century, the territory of present-day western Hungary fell under the rule of Rome. At the same time, the period was transitional, the Celts lived on these lands.
The doctor died at the age of 50 — 60 years. The remains showed no signs of injury or disease. Whether he was local is still unclear. According to one hypothesis, he could come to the patient. Scientists plan to conduct a series of additional tests.
It was previously reported that in Norway, a woman found a Viking treasure in the basement of her parents' house. She stumbled upon the treasure while cleaning.
