Ancient Egypt is one of the four ancient civilizations in the world, also known as ancient China. It has a long ancient history and has produced many splendid civilizations, including the Egyptian pyramids and the Sphinx. There is a mysterious dagger (a kind of dagger) from ancient Egypt, which has gone through a long history of more than 3000 years. When it was discovered by modern people, it was as bright as yesterday, and the blade was not rusty. It was incredible.
1922, the British explorer howard carter accidentally discovered the tomb of the ancient Egyptian Pharaoh Tutankhamun (Pharaoh of the first 18 dynasty in the new kingdom of ancient Egypt), and in the following eight years, he unearthed a large number of treasures, which shocked the western world.
This mysterious dagger comes from this ancient tomb 3000 years ago. It was wrapped around the right leg of Pharaoh's mummy. The hilt is decorated with gold, the round head is made of crystal, and the scabbard is made of gold, with lily patterns on one side and feathers and the head of the jackal on the other.
When archaeologists pulled out the dagger, they thought it would rust, but something incredible happened. The blade of the dagger is as bright as ever, with no rust at all, and the cold light is looming.
To the surprise of archaeologists, the body of this mysterious dagger looks like iron instead of bronze. As we all know, compared with bronze swords, iron swords have a great disadvantage that they are not corrosion-resistant and difficult to preserve for a long time. It is impossible for this dagger not to rust for 3000 years under the condition of full contact with water and air (the main material of Goujian sword unearthed in Yue State in China is bronze, which is easier to preserve for a long time).
Moreover, according to scientists' speculation, ironmaking technology was invented in ancient Egypt in the 8th century BC, which was later than that in neighboring countries. The age of this dagger is about BC14th century. Then, the contradiction came. If the body of this mysterious dagger is not made of iron, what is it made of? Is there another mystery, or is this dagger made by aliens?
It wasn't made by aliens, but this dagger really doesn't belong to the earth. According to later research, the raw materials used for this mysterious buried ancient Egyptian dagger are meteorites from outer space. The research team from Italy and Egypt analyzed the elements contained in the dagger blade through the X-rays in the Egyptian Museum, and compared them with the composition of meteorites, and reached this conclusion.
Meteorite is another kind of falling star, a "guest" from outside the earth. A meteorite with large stone content is called a meteorite, and a meteorite with large iron content is called a meteorite. Not only in ancient Egypt, but also in ancient China, meteorites were also used to make weapons and farm tools.
