So an ancient dagger from one of the most famous Egyptian pharaohs (King Tutankhamen) is made from meteoric iron? Sounds like the beginning of a weird movie or novel. Found in 1922 too. Haven’t heard any stories about anything weird about such a dagger. Darn it!

@NG—-The story is apparently true about the dagger, as there was recently a story about it on the MSN website, & you can probably Google the story. They just recently decided to check out the metal it is made of, to try to trace the source area that they assumed it was mined from, & got a big surprise.
