Gianluca Miniaci/ Petrie
Researchers at the Petrie Museum in London have analyzed nine iron specimens on two graves in northern Egypt, near the el-Geresp village, found in 1911 and have concluded that they are over 5,000 years old. They are, therefore, the oldest forged iron objects found, manufactured about 2,000 years before the beginning of the Iron Age. And where did they get the raw material from, if man started melting iron hundreds of years later? From space, mainly by fragments of meteorites composed of iron and nickel.
