Description
Iran's Bronze Age site of Shahr-e Sukhteh, the Burnt City, has already produced the world's oldest dice, among other amazing finds. The latest is an artificial eyeball still in the socket of a middle-aged woman who died 4,800 years ago. The prosthetic has fine capillaries and a pupil etched on it, as well as holes to secure it in place.

When I read this I was fascinated and wondered what this woman could have looked like in life. This is a very fanciful idea, but she must have een extremely striking to see in her day.
