Why the Egyptians did they choose this metal in particular? The enigma is still full but we now know with certainty that the pharaoh Tutankhamun dagger was made with iron coming from space. In geochemical analysis published in the journal Meteoritics and Planetary Science, the researchers proved that the iron used to this dagger, found alongside the mummy of Tutankhamen, came from a meteorite.

“The nickel concentrations and quantities (lowest) of cobalt, phosphorus, carbon and sulfur detected in the blade are typical of the original iron meteorite, “said one of the authors of the study Science and future . This is not the first time that the extraterrestrial metal is detected in objects from ancient Egypt: a set of tubular beads, found in a cemetery along the Nile, had been identified as made from iron from a meteorite.
no one knows if the Egyptians considered these pieces of metal fell from the sky as a gift of the gods, but they seem to have their assigned a value large enough to use in objects the most valuable of the pharaoh. Currently on display in the Cairo Museum, the dagger of Tutankhamen is old some 3,300 years
