Mythology has a cultural appeal, and the description of some neurosurgical procedures in the Hindu, Greek, Egyptian, and Chinese mythology has a bearing to the origins of our professions. The traces to some of our modern-day practices also can be linked back to the ancient prehistoric eras of the Siberian, Persian, and the Andean region. In this historical perspective, we briefly dwell into individual accounts through the prism of different cultures to highlight the development of neurosurgery in mythology and prehistoric era.
神话具有文化吸引力，印度、希腊、埃及和中国神话中对一些神经外科手术的描述与我们这一职业的起源有关。我们现代一些手术的踪迹也可以追溯到西伯利亚、波斯和安第斯地区的古代史前时代。从这一历史视角出发，我们通过不同文化的棱镜简要探究一个个故事，以突出神话和史前时代神经外科的发展。
