The Medieval Bionic Man

In Italy a bizarre discovery was made when archaeologists found a skeleton in an ancient necropolis. Dating back to the 6th to 8th centuries, the skeleton was of a man in his 40's or 50's.  It is thought that he was a member of the mysterious German barbarians known as the Longobords. 

Instead of a hand, the man had a knife attached to his arm. His teeth on one side were worn down. The Archaeologists said that "The survival of this Longobard male testifies to community care, family compassion and a high value given to human life."

There was also a headless horse and several greyhounds found in the necropolis.
