Define “dentistry” in 7000 BC? I would speculate that ancient dentistry was dedicated to removing teeth by any means necessary. Infected or abscessed teeth would lead to life-threatening sepsis back then, so the best remedy was removal.
When I learned of Caulerpa 20+ years ago, I read that they could grow to two feet. Also, they had three organs. I thought organs were made up of cells, not vice versa.
well, maybe back then Og had such a bad toothache he hit himself in the face with a rock, knocked out the bad one, and considered himself the first dentist! Depends on definition!
Machu Picchu was already old when the Incas found it. The oldest stonework of megaliths, fitted without room for so much as a hair between them, was done with a lost technology that far predates the crude Incan stones. The indigenous people there even say that “the gods” built it. Conservative archaeologists really have their heads up their butts on this one, and should go back to school for a few civil engineering courses.

Dentistry was probably smashing someone’s teeth out with a rock back then. I could be wrong, but I don’t care.

And you don’t have to climb up a mountainside in the fog to see it!

Partial jaw pictured, was the first attempt at pulling a wisdom tooth.

Does knocking out a rival’s teeth count as dentistry?
Machu Picchu has a better view.
That sounds like the cell phones in the 1990s.

I do not believe the London tower bit. Machu Picchu is much older than that.

One cell? not possible.

And it only took until the 1900s for patients to discover that the sign “Painless Dentist” didn’t mean the patients…

At over a foot in size it is no longer a cell, it is a building…
