King Tutankhamun, or King Tut if we want to be a little less formal has been frequently study by archaeologists since the discovery of his tomb in 1922.
When the Ancient Egyptian Pharaoh's Tomb was opened up, it was believed a curse was released onto the archaeologists.
However, it wasn't until recently that researchers discovered something a little more unusual about King Tut's tomb.
Among many Artifacts recovered, there was a golden dagger, and an iron one. However, archaeologists and historians were under the belief that the Ancient Egyptians (around 1300 BC) didn't have access to any iron.
The only known civilization to have used iron around 1300 BC was the Hittite civilization! The concentration found in the iron used by the Hittite civilization revealed a high concentration level, primarily found in meteors!
The Hittites and the Ancient Egyptians were known to have constant contact with each other.
After much debate, it has been concluded that King Tut's dagger, among many other iron artifacts, originated from a meteorite carrying iron that struck the Earth!
