The mystery begins in the valley of the Kings Egypt. Here Ancient Egyptian pharaohs once lay buried, among untold riches of gold and gems.
In 1922 British archaeologist Howard Carter, stumbled across the biggest archaeological discovery of the 20th century.
The tomb of Tutankamun, remains one of the most stunning archaeological discoveries of all time.
The tomb really captured people`s imagination, which led to ehole outburst of Egypt mania, where everything Egyptian was sexy and cool.
The 3300 year old tomb, was filled with treasure.
Tutankhamun mummy was absolutely covered in jewelry, colors, amulets, but also two daggers and one of those daggers had an iron blade.

King Tut lived during Egypt`s Bronze Age, at a time when iron manufacturing was technologically impossible.
How did King Tut obtain iron, when iron basically didn`t exist.
One possible answer comes from a set of tablets written in an ancient middle-eastern script at the time of King Tut`s grandfather.
One possible answer comes from a set of tablets written in an ancient middle-eastern script at the time of King Tut`s grandfather.
The Amarna letters are a series of ancient texts, that date from the time period, right before Tutankhamun reign and among other things they mentioned a series of gifts sent to Egypt by rulers of neighboring kingdoms.
Included in this list, is a number of daggers with iron blades. Is it possible that this is the source of that dagger.
According to the Amarna tablets, the pharaoh of Egypt, received iron daggers from people with close like to the iron smelting site discovered in Jordan.
If we could identify one of these daggers, sent by the king of Mitanni to Tutankhamun grandfather as being the one found on his mummy, that`d be wonderful, but there`s no real means of being able to join the dote here.
On the face of it, the coincidence of the Amarna letters, with the iron smelting site looks compelling, but when archaeologists investigate futher, they realized that the dates don`t match. It`s a very disputed site, the dating is very very disputed.
Though archaeologists still debate the exact start date, the site at Tel Elohim, may have started production too late for
Tutankhamun.
This date to about a thousand BC, which makes it 300 years or so after Tutankhamun.
But some experts claim, the mainstream Egyptian timeline could be off by as much as 300 years, which would put
Tutankhamun back in the frame, yet there is another more significant obstacle to the idea that the dagger was forged by Egypt`s advanced neighbors.
Chemical analysis of its iron yields shocking results. This particular dagger doesn`t rust and that`s what makes is special.
The quality the ironist is fantastic, it`s pure, almost made in the kind of technology that would happen only centuries later, when people became experts at creating iron.
The blade is so pure, that in over 3000 years, it has not rusted at all.
No one in the world is capable of producing that kind of metal in pre-modern times.
The people of Tel Elohim may have been good metal workers, but no one on Earth was capable of marking such high-quality iron back then.
All the clues lead to the same remarkable conclusion, this iron wasn`t mined by man.
So there`s a high content of nickel and traces of cobalt, which indicates in all likelihood, that this metal in NOT from Earth.
The discovery leaves only one possible conclusion, this iron came from the sky.
The sky is hugely important for Egyptian mythology, there are Gods of the sky. Any kind of things, coming from the sky, will be seen as potential gifts or some kind of offering of the Gods.
Ancient hieroglyphs throw further light these daggers, when you look at some early religious text, it talks about the bones of the Gods, being made of iron, but only that, the term for iron was (beer impact) which means iron from the skies.
The ancient Egyptians believed that iron came from the heavens, while the dagger may not have been delivered by a God, modern satellite images have shed light on how it could have gotten here.
There are a lot of scientists who scan satellite imagery for interesting features on Earth`s surface. Well a really interesting feature was found in Egypt in about 2008.
Mineralogists found on satellite imagery, perfectly preserved crater surrounded by more than thousand kilograms of meteoric iron.
It`s very possible that a clever blacksmith, recognized the metallic qualities of this stone and decided to experiment and discover that in fact, he could hammer it into a blade.
When archeologists investigate the site, they analyze fragments from the ground. We can reconstruct the compositional characteristics of the meteorite and the bad news is that it`s not match, so it`s very unlikely, that dagger was crafted out of that specific metal.
This partcular meteorite is not the source of the dagger.
So is the dagger made by aliens, because the two daggers the areheologists discovered in Tutankhamun tomb, with an iron blade, which would have been made in a time when iron manufacturing was technologically impossible.
