King Tut's dagger blade made from meteorite

King Tut's dagger blade made from meteorite, study confirms - Technology & Science - CBC News

Interesting article. I never knew King Tut had a dagger.

While I was reading the article, I couldn't help but think, jokingly, that the aliens gave the meteorite to the boy king and showed him how to make a dagger. It seems others had the same thought from the comments left below the article.

The picture of the 300 lb + iron meteorite is awesome. I would love to have one but not quite that big. I'm sure they can be bought on ebay.

A quick scan of eBay, i'm seeing a huge range. Anywhere from $24 to $50 an ounce. Price range determined from location, shape, color, and composition. Most are scaled in grams. Not something to base a commodity value on but very collectable with a coolness factor thats out of this world.

No Big Deal.. I have two of them. Cept mine are plastic.

Very cool. I was just wondering yesterday if there were any great undiscovered tombs left.
