As well as adding to that collection, researchers found the oldest prints were formed much earlier than thought.
The first date back almost 9,000 years and the youngest of the prints are medieval - about 1,000 years old.

The discovery of hidden hieroglyphics within Tutankhamun’s tomb lends weight to a theory that the fabled Egyptian queen Nefertiti lies in a hidden chamber adjacent to her stepson’s burial chamber, a world-renowned British Egyptologist has said.
