[00:00:01][music] >> More than 3,000 years ago, an Egyptian king carried a weapon made from outer space.

[00:00:08]In 1922, [music] archaeologists opened the tomb of King Tutankhamun and uncovered one of the greatest discoveries in history.

[00:00:17]Gold, jewelry, and priceless treasures filled the tomb.

[00:00:21]But among them was a single object [music] that puzzled scientists for decades.

[00:00:26]A beautifully crafted iron dagger buried beside the young pharaoh.

[00:00:32]The problem was Tutankhamun lived before [music] iron was widely used in Egypt.

[00:00:37]So, where did the metal come from?

[00:00:40]Years later, scientists examined the blade and made a remarkable discovery.

[00:00:46]The iron contained unusually high levels of nickel and cobalt, elements commonly found in meteorites.

[00:00:53]The dagger wasn't made from ordinary metal pulled from the earth.

[00:00:57]It was forged from a rock that had fallen from the sky.

[00:01:01]To the ancient Egyptians, iron from meteorites was known as the metal of heaven, which means a pharaoh may have carried a weapon crafted from a piece of the cosmos itself.
