King Tutankhamun's dagger was made of iron from heaven

 


Three years after Howard Carte discovered the mysterious tomb of King Tutankhamen, two daggers were found hidden between the bandages that wrapped King Tutankhamun's mummy. A top was placed over that area and it was made of gold. The other was placed on the right thigh and its blade was made of iron and the handle was made of gold. Its handle is worth a palugu cube. It resembles a golden scabbard decorated with carvings of a fox's head, lilies and feathers. Later research revealed that the iron used to make the dagger blade was made from organelles, which was further confirmed by examining the nickel and cobalt content of the dagger. Scientists believe that the iron used in the production of this dagger was extracted from fallen spring fragments obtained by the ancient maker.
