Answer 2

The correct answer is 4) an eber who used magic and medicine.

In ancient times, if you lived in a remote area of Egypt, an eber who used magic and medicine would be most likely to treat your illness.

He was the kind of ancestral medicine man or shaman, that had the knowledge to treat some illnesses. The Eber Papyrus, of 1550 BC, refers to many incantations that eber used to treat diseases, prescriptions included. Another Papyrus, this one from Imhotep, father of Egyptian medicine, is called the Edwin Smith Papyrus, refers to the treatment of many diseases.
