          6. An Ancient Egyptian Physician Cited As the 'First Woman Doctor' Likely Never Existed

          Merit Ptah was an ancient Egyptian physician, often revered as the world's first female doctor. She was thought to live nearly 5,000 years ago...but she likely never existed, according to new findings.

          "Merit Ptah was everywhere," from online posts about women in STEM and popular history books to computer games, Jakub Kwiecinski, a medical historian and instructor at the University of Colorado's School of Medicine, said in a UC statement.

          "And yet, with all these mentions, there was no proof that she really existed."
