A full cheek snaffle....?

I saw a full cheek snaffle bit with a twisted wire mouthpiece that was discovered in Egypt and thought to be over 3,000 years old...do any of you know of any older bits? The bit that was discovered was in beautiful shape, surprisingly, and the diameter of the mouthpiece looked to be larger than a man's middle finger....the bit was located in a historical Egyptian dig thought to be an area where the kings horses were stabled.
"What were they thinking"...bless you for looking these websites up...I thought the info on the Egyptian bit was just fascinating!!! It was made of metal..
"Rosi" your info was just fascinating...both of you have just awsum information!! Now you both know that I watch the Discovery channel and The Learning Channel at lot!!

I am currently digging for the article i read to get the correct info.

i dont think what i'm thinking about is older, but it is intersting.

give me a few mins to dig up the info

slow slow slow puter....
okay what i remember, there were different periods in time that the bit evolved. i do believe bits started out as wood or any materals they could find easily. then they started using mental *do not know what time period this happened, dont remember* anyway, i'm still looking, trying not to type in any "incorrect information"....

grrr. it's not loading, but this is the web site: and it's the history of the double bridle....stupid puter never works when ya want it to.
