Mutilarea nazală în China antică: Prima dovadă arheologică

An archaeological discovery in China reveals evidence of a woman subjected to a cruel punishment 700 years ago. Researchers found skeletal remains indicating facial mutilation, specifically a severed nose, which was one of the 'Five Punishments' in ancient China. The woman, buried face down, likely faced social stigma and was possibly punished for theft or adultery. Despite her injuries, she may have received medical care post-amputation, suggesting she survived the ordeal. This finding highlights the historical context of social challenges related to physical deformities.
