The Tutankhamun dagger made with NOT terrestrial material

Since the discovery of his tomb in 1922 he has not stopped surprising us, and now more, that Tutankhamun's dagger finally has an explanation.Read on to discover this very interesting story, which has nothing to do with Martians or beings of other worlds.

Tutankhamun's dagger made with non-terrestrial material

In an earlier article we talked about some of the most valuable objects found in the tomb of this pharaoh, which Kingdom in Egypt from 1336 to 1327 BC Among the numerous objects, made of finely worked gold, ivory or wood, Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon came across two daggers placed on the body of the pharaoh child.there was no problem if both struts had been manufactured with common materials, but one of them was made of iron .

You will think that iron is not unusual; and of course not, only that in ancient Egypt the objects made with this metal were very rare and very few, because this civilization, despite all its advances, did not handle iron technology, and was held in more esteem that the same gold .Therefore, the Tutankhamun dagger aroused interest and curiosity from the beginning.In addition, it was not rusty, and the quality of its manufacture surprised the researchers, seeing in it the capacity that arrived to have at the time of Tutankhamun to work the iron.

But where did the metal come from? In Egypt there were no iron mines, but instead, "it rained from the sky", as recorded in an old papyrus.It was literally raining from the sky: they were meteorites fallen in the Egyptian desert that people collect and that, even today, It is possible to continue doing.This theory is not new, although it is already confirmed.While some thought that the source of iron was the meteorites that fell on Earth, others assured that they imported it from the current Turkey, from Anatolia, that if they had an iron metallurgy.

However, in 2010 a very special crater was discovered, a small lunar crater in the middle of the Egyptian desert, baptizing it as Kamil crater. After this discovery, a team led by Francesco Porcelli, Professor of Physics at the Polytechnic University of Turin, tied up the ends and decided to do an ana lysis to the blade of the Tutankhamun dagger.

To do this, logically, they dealt with the Egyptian authorities, faithful and jealous guardians of all the findings, and used the technique of fluorescence a X-ray , non-invasive, to confirm the composition of the iron in their hands.This composition ratified the non-terrestrial origin of the Tutankhamun dagger, as it contains 10% nickel and cobalt 0.6%, typical meteorite concentrations .Impossible that it be an alloy with such concentrations.In addition, it is commonly accepted that ancient civilizations, such as the Inuit, or those of the Tibet , Syria, Mesopotamia and the people of Hopewell , east of North America, have used iron from meteorites to make small tools and ceremonial objects.

And what about people who spend all their time in front of a computer screen letting out "real life" ? Sometimes, it is much easier to let ourselves go, evading responsibilities, than to put means t...

The Hynek scale to assess UFO sightings

Are you skeptical? The American astrologer and ufologist Josef Allen Hynek, creator of the Hynek scale to identify the types of UFO sightings (unidentified flying objects), was also at first. It is that the unknown, the more extraordinary and supernatural is presented, the tendency will be to seek a more or less logical explanation to, perhaps, reassure.Led by the same, Hynek came to reason at close encounters with beings from other worlds as "a matter of postwar nerves ” . Later with his own experience, he would not only rectify his initial position by stating that it is a “ real phenomenon to face ” , but it would create a classification system that you will know next.The ufologists have adopted it universally! The Hynek scale, the UFO sighting classification system Imagine that you are observing the night sky, when suddenly something in the distance, between clouds, it flashes like nothing else you've ever witnessed.Suppose you're not skeptical as Hynek was or...

Why does the hair on the head grow and the hair on the arms stays short?

In Science Daily Online we talk once about a lunar scenario of Star Wars in Tunisia, this time we want to look, to start, in one of the characters of this famous saga: Chewbacca.If the hair of the body, of the arms for example, we would grow as much as we have in the head, would we not look more like him? Why doesn't this happen? How is it possible that the hairs of our arms are kept in the same way always ? Wise follicles Each hair follicle in our body corresponds to a hair.Within the follicle, cells are formed that form the new hair from the root. Little by little, while new cells are generated they accumulate outside the foliole , they go outside, die and become what we know as hairs. «Now I produce cells and now I don't» Depending on where a follicle is located in our body will produce cells for a period or not .The temporary space in which if they occur is called « growth phase »and the remaining one« resting phase «.After the latter, retur...

Why finding water ice on the Moon is so important?

The speed with which new discoveries are being made in the field of science, is dizzying.We do not wake up one day without knowing any further progress and, often, we realize the amount of discoveries that are being made This is the case of the finding we want to talk about in today's article.It is about the discovery of water on the moon. It is the first time that scientists find data that definitively evidence the existence of water on the moon.This is a very important discovery since it could assume that future lunar expeditions could have a water source that, without a doubt, would make it easier to “explore and even stay on the moon,” as as officials from the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory said in the statement about the discovery. Is there really water on the moon? The water on the moon was detected in the coldest and darkest regions of the north and south poles , of the moon.It is found in scattered patches in the north and concentrates on permanently shaded crater...

Savant's amazing syndrome: Advances

Savant syndrome is a rare, but extraordinary condition in which people with serious mental disorders, such as autistic, have a certain 'genuine island' in marked and inconsistent contrast with their difficulties In general, one in 10 people with autistic disorder have such remarkable abilities to varying degrees, although Savant syndrome also occurs in other developmental disorders or other types of central nervous system injury.Whatever the particular Savant ability, always is linked to mass memory . Savant in the future No model of brain function, including memory, will be complete until you can have into account and fully incorporate the rare but spectacular condition of the Savant syndrome. In the last decade, in particular, much progress has been made in explaining this discordant juxtaposition of capacity and disability, but remains n many unanswered questions. However, interest in this fascinating condition is accelerating, especially since the discovery of...
