Holy Isis, it's true!

A dagger entombed alongside the mummy of Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun was made with iron that came from a meteorite, researchers say.

The weapon was one of a pair of daggers discovered by British archaeologist Howard Carter in 1925 within the burial wrappings of the teenaged king.

The origin of its unrusted iron blade has baffled scientists because such metalwork was rare in ancient Egypt.

 

And if any of you think this doesn't belong here, well yeah, you're probably right.  But then again, we have topics about Witcher and Cassie's jawline and Maker knows what else, so kiss my weenus if you don't like it.

I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for those meddling SJWs!

This is pretty cool.

I was just reading yesterday about Iron in folklore and the use of ritual items made out of meteorite iron, like Tibetan singing bowls and vajra.

Iron in general was believed to ward off spirits and sky iron was sacred because it was said to be forged by the celestial gods, and came out of the "void" of the sky in a fireball or shooting star.

The practical reason for having a meterorite dagger: before iron refinement became a thing, it was the only way to actually get iron in some parts of the world.

 

Of course, starmetal also grants bonuses against undead, but that's just a side benefit.
