% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

The mummy is thought to have died between the 16th and 11 century BC and the pin is held in place by organic resin, similar to modern bone cement.

This confirmed what they believed was impossible – that this operation was performed over 3,000 years ago …. http://www.express.co.uk
