CWEB.com – The Curse of Tutankhamen. Archeologists from Italy and Egypt analyzed the iron blade of the weapon buried with the king using an X-ray scanning technique.

In fact, this meteoritic reverence may be why a composite hieroglyphic term began appearing on tablets at roughly the same time: “iron of the sky.”
