An ancient prosthetic eye, on a female skeleton dated 2900 and 2800 BCE.    [The eye] has a diameter of 2.5 cm and consists of a light material, probably bitumen paste. The surface is covered with a thin layer of gold, engraved with a central circle (representing the iris) and gold lines patterned like sun rays. The skeleton was 1.82 m tall (6 feet), much taller than ordinary women of the time.     An extraordinarily tall woman wearing an engraved golden eye patterned with rays like a tiny sun!

The Longyou Caves were only discovered late in the 20th century. At least 24 caves have been discovered so far. All of which were carved by hand. Although the overall excavation involved almost a million cubic metres of stone, there is no historical record of them or evidence of the work. Their origin is a complete mystery. At present there is no explanation for their existence. They represent one of the largest underground excavations of ancient times.: Ancient Ruins, Ancient Times, Ufo, Monuments, Rose Croix, Unexplained Mysteries, Ancient Technology
