Possibly the world's first prosthetic body part...
Possibly the world's first prosthetic body part - Egypt circa 1000-600 BC... A recently discovered Egyptian mummy may have the world’s first prosthetic body part, according to British researchers. The wooden and leather artificial toe, now in the Cairo Museum in Egypt, is dated between 1000 and 600 BC. Researchers hope to prove it helped the owner to walk, which would mean prostheses existed 700 years earlier than first thought. The previously oldest known example was a bronze Roman leg from 300 BC, destroyed in bombing of London in World War 11. He wouldn’t be going far without it!

Egypt has been first with many things - why not prosthetic bidy parts?
