And if I remember correctly Pharoah Dozer was over 4,000 years ago. Are you sure that there was no Leprosy in Egypt? I was just reading Leviticus the other day and there were a lot of details on how to test for Leprosy and what to do if it was discovered.

Yes, no Leprosy in Egypt—Why? no one knows. Also Egyptians lived longer than others in the ancient world —next to the Nile that flushes all the germs out of Africa. Leprosy hit the Hebrews hard—same as other groups. Much of the medical knowledge can be directly attributed to Imhotep and his medical college that operated for 2 thousand years. After about 1,000 years the Egyptians made Imhotep a God. Even Greeks worshiped him. One genius can have a profound impact on a people.

True, but the leprosy of Leviticus was not the modern disease we call leprosy, which has different symptoms.
