In these same tombs, archaeologists
uncovered human teeth bound with copper wire, indicating a sophisticated
awareness of dental practices in antiquity. This discovery points in particular
to an early form of what we now refer to as orthodontics, as well as the
implantation of artificial teeth, with the use of copper wire serving as a
rudimentary method of tooth replacement.
52 Canaanite tombs were also
uncovered, falling into three distinct categories: Warriors' Tombs, constructed
of stone and clay, a signifier of the noble status of those interred. Each of
these graves contained a bronze axe, daggers, silver artifacts, and grinding
stones (jarran) inscribed with hieroglyphs and symbols of Pharaonic origin,
indicating that these items had been imported from Egypt. Children’s Burials,
which held the remains of infants and young children ranging from infancy to
six years of age. These remains were carefully placed inside ceramic jars.
Dans ces mêmes
tombes, les archéologues ont mis au jour des dents humaines liées par un fil de
cuivre, témoignant d’une connaissance avancée des pratiques dentaires dans
l’Antiquité. Cette découverte indique en particulier une forme précoce de ce
que nous appelons aujourd’hui l’orthodontie, ainsi que l’implantation de dents
artificielles, le fil de cuivre servant de méthode rudimentaire pour le
remplacement dentaire.
تم العثور كذلك
في هذه المقابر على أسنان مربوطة بسلك من النحاس ، مما يدل على أن طب الأسنان كان
معروفاً في ذلك الزمن، لا سيما فيما يسمى في وقتنا الحالي "تقويم
الأسنان" ، بالإضافة إلى زرع الأسنان المخلوعة باستعمال الشريط النحاسي
كتعويض عن السن المخلوع .
