A 2,000-year-old medical manual described plastic surgery – centuries before anyone else! An age-old artists’ guide laid down exact measurements for every part of the body, from tooth to toenail.
An astronomy and maths handbook from over 1,500 years ago calculated the length of Earth’s year – missing the mark by just 3–4 minutes!
