I heard that dentistry started in Egypt. However that is a pretty nice find. Whatever it was meant to do it looked like they had succeeded. The skull's condition is downright amazing.

I bet you did...

 

There is even evidence from the Neolithic of basic dental proceedures being performed. (outside of Egypt)
