He bought the Ebers Papyrus, which is one of the oldest medical records from Egypt and is what made him famous. Georg Ebers was born in Berlin. He was the fifth child in a wealthy family of bankers and someone who made ceramics. After their father killed himself soon after Ebers was born, the children were raised by their mother alone. Smart people like Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, the Grimm Brothers, and Alexander von Humboldt liked going to the club that his mother ran. Ebers studied law in Gottingen and Oriental languages and history in Berlin. Egyptology was something he studied in depth, so in 1865 he was made Dozent in Egyptian language and antiquities at Jena. In 1868 he was made professor. In 1870, he was hired as a professor at Leipzig to teach these topics. He went to Egypt twice for research reasons. His first important work, Ägypten und die Bücher Moses, came out in 1867 and 1868. In 1874, he edited the famous medical tablet called tablet Ebers, which he had found in Thebes (H. Joachim, 1890).
