A 3,500-year-old bronze hand decorated with a gold cuff has been unearthed in Switzerland, leading some to theorize it may be the earliest known metal prosthetic. The hand was crafted during the Bronze Age, dating between 1,400 and 1,500 B.C., according to National Geographic. "Carbon dating 14 determined that the bronze hand dated from 1500 to 1400 BCE," a Google Translate version of the statement reads. The statement continues: "These two dates, located in the Middle Bronze Age, are consistent with the dagger blade. The archaeologists also found a stone structure constructed and the owner of the bronze hand was placed over the structure on purpose, the experts said.
