The Ancient Egyptian People were the first to use functioning prosthetic body part In The World

The Ancient Egyptian People were the first to use functioning prosthetic body part In The World:

An artificial big toe found on the foot of an Egyptian mummy could prove to be the world’s earliest functioning prosthetic body part.

The fake toe from the Cairo museum in Egypt (top images) was found in 2000 in a tomb near the ancient city of Thebes.

Archaeologists speculated the 50- to 60-year-old woman the prosthesis came from might have lost her toe due to complications from diabetes. Perhaps this is where “walk like an Egyptian” got started.
