Thank you for the article.

Yes, this dagger is pretty strange. It is known since many decades, that this dagger is made from meteroid-iron, centuries before the smelting of iron in Egypt.

But there is at least one huge problem! This dagger is laminated, very skillfully laminated. How in all the world the Egyptians could know how to fold steel if they are totally unexperienced with this material and technique? The making of a steel blade is totally different compared to a bronze sword. Meteroid iron is often very difficult to forge. Very very strange circumstances.
