King Tut's meteorite dagger mystery

[Eldorado]

A team of researchers recently X-ray scanned an iron dagger found in the tomb of Tutankhamun to figure out how the object, the metal of which came from a meteorite, was made. They suspect the dagger was created through low-temperature forging—but they don’t think it was crafted in Egypt.

When archaeologists entered Tutankhamun’s burial chamber in the Valley of the Kings in the 1920s, they found a foot-long dagger among the splendor entombed with the pharaoh. Its blade was made of iron, a perplexing discovery considering the Iron Age didn’t kick off until a century after Tut’s death.

Meteorite iron was used in polar region too to make tool, spear and arrow heads. But such tools have been found a bit everywhere.
