A fragment of a hypothetical prototype of the book In the Beginning (ProtoBereshit), supposedly composed in 1609-1583 BC in northern Egypt. According to our hypothesis, in the work of fiction, an unknown physician-encyclopedist for the first time pointed out damage to the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) as a cause of gait disturbance. See our commentary at the link: 1650-1550bcImhotep the Younger [Rus].
