The ancient Egyptians knew many of the therapeutical effects of the medicinal plants. This knowledge was taught at home from father to son. So, these houses formed the first primitive pharmacy and medicine schools. Century after century, the ancient Egyptians became more and more interested in medical sciences. Temples began to establish medical and pharmaceutical schools. Priests of good and honest character with scientific background were chosen to become teachers and professors in these schools. Another medical and pharmaceutical schools teaching all the scientific courses were the Per Ankh or Houses of Life. Special schools were erected inside the Royal palaces for the education of the Royal family children, the nobles and the court officials comprising all sorts of sciences and arts, specially taught in its own Per Ankh, as in Heliopolis and Memphis palaces.
古埃及人知晓许多药用植物的治疗功效。这种知识由父亲在家中传授给儿子。于是，这些房屋便构成了最初的原始药房和医学学校。一个世纪又一个世纪过去了，古埃及人对医学科学的兴趣与日俱增。寺庙开始设立医学和药学学校。品德优良且具有科学背景的牧师被挑选出来成为这些学校的教师和教授。另一所教授所有科学课程的医学和药学学校是生命之屋（Per Ankh）。在皇家宫殿内还设立了特殊学校，用于教育皇室子女、贵族和宫廷官员，这些学校涵盖各种科学和艺术领域，特别是在各自的生命之屋中进行教学，比如在赫利奥波利斯和孟菲斯的宫殿中。
