In December 2006, archaeologists made a groundbreaking discovery at Shahr-i-Sokhta, an ancient site in southeastern Iran. While excavating a Bronze Age burial ground, they uncovered a female skeleton with an unusual object in her eye socket. This object turned out to be the world’s oldest known artificial eyeball, dating back over 4,800 years. The prosthetic, just over an inch in diameter, was made from a lightweight material, likely a bitumen-based paste, and was covered with a thin layer of gold. It featured an engraved iris and gold lines radiating out like sun rays, with tiny holes on the sides that suggest it was held in place by a golden thread.

This find is significant not only for its age but also for its sophisticated craftsmanship, revealing advanced medical knowledge and artistic skills for that period. The luxurious design hints that the woman may have been someone of high status, possibly a noble or a priestess. The discovery sheds light on the innovative practices of the people of Shahr-i-Sokhta, a major urban center known for its early writing, advanced urban planning, and unique culture. In 2014, the site was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site, recognized for its contribution to understanding early civilizations.

À quoi ressemblerait physiquement Ötzi, l’homme des glaces d’il y a 5 300 ans, comparé à l’homme moderne ???
.
.
Ötzi était un homo sapiens, tout comme nous. S’il était assis en face de vous dans le métro, vous ne le trouveriez pas inhabituel. Il mesurait environ 5'4" (162,5 cm) et pesait environ 110 lb (50 kg). Il avait les yeux bruns et les cheveux bruns. Il avait environ 45 ans lorsqu'il est décédé, donc en vivant à une époque sans crème solaire et en vivant dans une région avec des vents froids et violents, son visage altéré le faisait probablement paraître plus vieux, un peu comme Tommy Lee Jones.

Génétiquement, il s’intégrerait parfaitement aux gens modernes. Il possédait effectivement une quantité de gènes néandertaliens plus élevée que la norme pour les Européens modernes, mais pas au point que son apparence le trahisse et pas au point qu'il ne rentre pas dans cette fourchette qu'on trouve aujourd'hui.

Ossuaire de Custoza (Vérone, Italie)
L’hors de notre voyage éclair en Italie avec Nico Claux, nous avons eu la chance de visiter cet endroit magnifiquement entretenu. Ce qui m a marqué est la diversité des patines et forme des crânes, et je voulais partager avec vous ce “catalogue” de référence pour ceux qui font des répliques pour éviter le pillage de ces lieux de mémoire
N hésitez pas à partager .

Revealing Seqenenre's Visage: The Pharaoh's Last Battle 😲😲

Recent advancements in archaeology and science have revealed new insights into Seqenenre-Tao II, an ancient Egyptian pharaoh who met a violent end 3,500 years ago. Known as "The Brave," Seqenenre-Tao II perished around 1555 BC, likely in battle or during capture as he fought against the Hyksos invaders. Archaeologists at Flinders University reconstructed his face using CT scans and X-rays of his skull, showing distinctive features like small eyes and high cheekbones. Dr. Sahar Saleem's paleoradiology analysis confirmed Seqenenre-Tao II was killed by multiple attackers wielding different weapons, challenging previous theories about his death. Seqenenre's bravery in confronting the Hyksos contributed to Egypt's eventual reunification under the New Kingdom, led by his descendants. His legacy as a courageous leader continues to be illuminated through these scientific discoveries.
