1. King Tut's Other-Worldly Dagger
X-Ray analysis of this beautiful dagger, belonging to and buried beside the boy king, reveals its make-up to be mostly iron with nickel and cobalt. This combination proved to researchers that it must have originated in outer-space, from an iron-meteorite. This has been linked to the knowledge that Ancient Egyptians (around the time of King Tut, c.1300 BC) began using a hieroglyphic - the priestly writing system - which meant 'iron of the sky.'
Pictured below is the actual quarry where some of these stones came from, Craig Rhos-y-felin. This is around 140 miles from Stonhenge's location in Wiltshire. Yet using a sycamore sleigh, members of a team of UCL researches in England, were able in a group of 10 to drag a similar stone along timbers laid down.
