A closer look

King Tutankhamun was buried with a dagger completely forged from a meteorite, meaning the famous boy king was technically armed with space weapons. When archaeologists finally cracked open his incredibly lavish tomb in nineteen twenty-two, they found a stunning iron blade resting right against his mummified thigh. For decades, scientists were deeply confused because the ancient Egyptians did not have the technology to smelt iron at the time the dagger was made. It was not until modern X-ray fluorescence testing was invented that researchers confirmed the metal contained high levels of nickel and cobalt, perfectly matching the composition of ancient space rocks found near the Red Sea. The ancient Egyptians literally scoured the desert for fallen meteorites to craft an extraterrestrial shank for their teenage pharaoh, cementing King Tut as the ultimate ancient hypebeast with the most unnecessarily expensive EDC gear in human history
