KING TUT HAD A KNIFE FROM OUTER SPACE!!!!!!!!

A beautiful day it is. Today, spotlight is on King Tut. King Tut was the youngest Pharaoh to rule over Egypt. 

He ascended the throne at the age of 9 or 10 and died at the age of 18. Even as a boy/kid pharaoh, King Tut continues to fascinate modern day scientists and scholars.

Now, a recent discovery has made the already mysterious figure even more enigmatic, and it’s been right there, in plain sight for over 90 years. Indeed, back in 1922 when his tomb was first discovered, the news media went wild with speculation about the life of Tutankhamun and the various artifacts they found in his burial chamber. Some of the most intriguing were a pair of daggers, one gold and the other assumed to be iron.

Well, now researchers from Italy and Egypt have used x-ray technology to discover something very unique about those weapons. One is indeed iron, but it also contains small amounts of nickel and cobalt. Such a combination is almost always associated with something from space. Therefore, these scientists have concluded that the blade could only come from one source – an ancient iron meteorite.

Previously, scholars were merely interested in the fact that iron was used, a true rarity in that era. Now, a whole new scenario has opened up, and with additional investigation, they’ve even managed to narrow down the incident which lead to the Ancient Egyptians discovering the space rock. In fact, they’ve linked the dagger to the Kharga meteorite, an object that was discovered in a limestone plateau in 2000 near Mersa Matruh, a seaport west of the city of Alexandria…and guess what -the metals match perfectly. Hundreds of years later and Tut is still making headlines. Amazing!!!
