X-ray and chemical testing confirm this dagger, found on the body of Tutankhamun, contained high levels of iron and nickel as well as cobalt, leading researcher to conclude it was consistent with the make up of meteorites.
The iron blade puzzled researchers because ironwork was rare in ancient Egypt.
The high quality of the blade suggests that Tutankhamun, who lived during the latest stage of the Bronze Age, was supported by skilled ironworkers.
