Abstract
Findings of prostheses have been brought to light since the fifth Egyptian Dynasty. Recently, on the border between Iran and Afghanistan, an artificial eyeball was found dating to 5,000 years ago and constructed of lightweight materials derived from bitumen paste which was carefully finished with the design center of the iris and an effective gold ‘ray of light’.
