Dagger in Tutankhamun's Tomb is made of Extraterrestrial Iron!
The discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922, opened a new era in the study of ancient Egypt, but after nearly a century, the boy-pharaoh's tomb remains a source of surprises for all of the scientists. This time, the novelty is that the the iron blade of a dagger found near the mummy is extraterrestrial.
More than 3,300 years before Christ, the tomb builders used material from a meteorite to honor his dead pharaoh, presenting him with an exquisite funeral object that literally came from space.
The discovery was made by a group of Italian researchers and Egyptians, the Milan Polytechnic and Turin, the University of Pisa and the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, who used a noninvasive technique spectrometry X-ray fluorescence to analyze the material. What occurred is that it has in its composition the high nickel content that exist only in meteorites, thus confirming the extraterrestrial origin of the blade material.
