Ancient Medicine
An artificial big toe found on the foot of an ancient Egyptian mummy could be the world's earliest functional prosthetic.
Lead researcher Jacky Finch said: "The toe dates from between 1069 and 664 BC ... it is articulated and shows signs of wear. It is still attached to the foot of the mummy of a female between 50 and 60 years of age. The amputation site is also well healed."
