Skeletons reveal ancient Egyptian scribes had bad posture at work

Statues depicting the high dignitary Nefer and his wife from Abusir, Egypt

Martin Frouz/Czech Institute of Egyptology, Charles University

Ancient Egyptian scribes who put brush to papyrus thousands of years ago are often depicted as kneeling or sitting cross-legged – working postures that apparently took a toll on their bones.

The skeletons of 30 such scribes show more degenerative changes in certain bones and joints compared with 39 other ****** male Egyptians from the same region and time *******. All the bodies were ******* in a necropolis among the pyramids at Abusir, Egypt, between 2700 and 2180 BCE.
