13. I really want a rendering of the 6' priestess with the golden eye!

Experts posit whoever designed the eye must have had a good grasp of ocular anatomy – a normal eye's tiniest blood vessels were recreated using golden wires measuring less than half a millimeter in diameter. It was also covered in a thin layer of gold and engraved with a central circle to represent the iris, according to the ancient studies group.

Two holes bored on either side likely fixed the fake eye in place whenever the woman wore it, which may have been often, as the archaeologists noted some eyelid tissue on its surface.

It's unclear why the woman needed the fake eye, but it is considered the first ocular prosthetic in medical history, predating artificial eyes crafted in 2,000 B.C. in Egypt, according to the archaeologists' preliminary report.
