The dagger that belonged to Pharaoh Tutankhamun has a curious extraterrestrial composition.

King Tut –who ruled over the land of the Pharaohs – continues to amaze the archeological community. Researchers concluded that the iron sheet of the dagger that once belonged to the ‘Boy’ Pharaoh was made from a material that belonged to a meteorite. The scientific study was led by Italian-Egyptian researchers who used X-ray fluorescence to analyze the dagger which dates back to the XIV century BCE.

The mystery behind one of the two daggers found beside the mummy of the Pharaoh is now solved, it originated in space, or better said, the sheet that makes up the dagger was fabricated from materials found in meteorites (source)
