OP is the MVP for adding in part 2 of post

For some reason on the Lemmy apps, I've used both Boost and Connect, you can't upload multiple photos. So this is the only way.

When I first heard of this, I immediately thought of the hero from Irish mythology, Nuada Silverhand.

I wonder if the Irish myth is a recollection of a famous Bronze Age king with this prosthesis.

Oh what a cool piece of history.

I think the story is actually much more interesting! Archeologists have a bunch of theories, including the prosthetic, but there is no proof or anything that this was actually a prosthetic. Other ideas include a sceptre or a cultural artefact used to offer things to gods.

It's the earliest occurrence of a bronze hand and they are still searching for indications what it's actual use was.
