Their knowledge in human anathomy made them great physicians known even in far away Hittite empire. The images in their tombs demonstrate deep understanding in zoology and botanics.Their craftsmen taken undisputedly the first place in the world for the period, when Ancient Near East culture dominated. In stoneworking, metallurgy, glass and textile production they had been the best masters. The mummification is their specific and absolutely original kind of craft.
