Those involved then must have been every bit as thrilled at their discoveries and theories to explain them as we are now.

I love this, too, Malaise. Thanks.

Rich people get whatever they want.

How many slaves died "working" for kink tut?

Fuck him.

No one knew how to make high carbon steel at the time. Their state of the art was bronze and copper.

which one can't cut through which one?

He's an idiot

The stumbling, bumbling, shit-for-brains imbecile.

This, my dear malaise, is utterly fascinating and not surprising.

I wish

...and could be useful if you could figure out how to work it. And they did.

were as a result of objects coming from above not to mention the sun stars, moon, etc.

On the other hand one of my dear friends, a genius of a mathematician, was fascinated with the astronomical alignment of the pyramids of Egypt. He joined many others in the scientific approach to development.

It had to come from somewhere. Meteors burned up and left iron oxide. Meteors survived and left iron.

But, in the days of Tut, iron smelting was probably not yet known, or mature. So most iron objects were probably made of "found" iron, like meteorites in the desert. Apparently, this iron had some impurities that helped it resist rust, like stainless steel.

Today, if I wanted to make a dagger, I would not find iron ore and smelt a chunk. I'd walk (like an Egyptian) along the freeway and find a piece of bumper or broken truck spring and use that "found" iron.

One bozo's archaeological theory.

They say about 5% of earth's crust is iron.

and clunked into the earth.

It's meteorites, I tell ya. All of it. All of us. Meteors, meteorites, and comets, oh my!

I wonder if the pharaohs had any meteorite steel drums ...

I just posted a great link - fascinating indeed.

everything on this planet is of extraterrestrial origin.
