There are things in Egypt that have been hidden for years and have recently been unearthed like temples, lost cities and alien daggers! Subscribe to Talltanic http://goo.gl/wgfvrr 5. King Tut’s Meteor Dagger One of the most remarkable artifacts that was discovered in King Tut’s tomb was the meteor dagger. A new study of King Tut’s knives, proves that the iron in which it’s made from is not metal from this planet, and came from a fallen meteorite. In this photo, you can see the one and only meteorite dagger of King Tut. The iron blade was found wrapped around his right thigh, so that means it must have been a precious item to him. The only other dagger found on him was made of gold. What leads archaeologists to believe that this is dagger is from outer space, is that the iron was an extremely rare substance to come across during the bronze age. Researchers at the Polytechnic University in Milan in the 1970’s, had inconclusive results originally but taking advantage of new technology, they decided to test this theory again. The blade closely matched elements found in meteorites containing mostly iron, but cobalt and nickel as well. What else might we discover from this young man’s tomb? 4. Well How about New Hidden Rooms? Is it possible Howard Carter missed something during his first excavation? Modern technology is making it much easier for us to make new discoveries and learn even more about this fascinating culture. No one has seen behind this wall for at least 3 thousand 3 hundred and thirty nine years but that could soon be over. Radar scans around the rooms have revealed both metallic and organic materials in secret hidden chambers. It really could be the next big thing, egyptologists thought. In April 2016 a group of specialists performed additional radar scans and they are about 90% certain additional chambers exist. That 10 percent of uncertainty however, has kept them from exploring even further. Some claim Nefertiti’s tomb could being right next to him. It is worth another curse of the pharaohs to go and find out? 3. Alien Pharaoh? Akhenaten, previously mentioned, was an extremely strange guy. So much so the people are beginning to really believe he was an alien. Artwork of him is very odd as you can see in this photo with big eye, elongated head, and mysteriously long fingers. He seems to abandon the traditional portrayals of pharoahs. The monotheistic religion he imposed was to worship the god “Aten” and this name literally translates to Sun Disk. After recent extensive research from Stuart Fleischmann, who is an assistant professor of the comparative Genomics at the Swiss University in Cairo, we may have to rewrite some history books. A certain gene called *telomerase* was discovered and would only be existent from extreme genetic mutation; possibly from out of this world. Fleischmann and his team, concluded with DNA from Akhenaten, that he had a much larger cortex, which may explain his abnormal, elongated head. Pictures of his children, were even left with this genetic mutation and it’s depicted in almost all of his artwork; even his son, King Tut’s head. There is no documentation of head-binding in Egyptian culture. Have aliens visited this ancient civilization and possibly performed mutations? 2. Cat Mummies Only a few other animals besides cats were worthy of the ancient Egyptian process of mummification. Cat’s were treated almost like gods and you can see how their image has made an impact on their culture by looking at the mighty sphinx. Also, the god Bast took the form of a cat. In 1888 an Egyptian Farmer was digging in the desert at Beni Hassan and came across a startling discovery! Apparently he fell into a tunnel of thousands of mummified cats! As if cats weren’t already creepy enough! As soon as locals heard word of this, they began flocking to the site immediately, hoping to find gold!. They would even occasionally come across some gold sarcophaguses built for the beloved cats. But it was really more a like an underground river of cat mummies. Many of these were auctioned off in the UK but some are still on display at museums. 1. Lost Egyptian Underwater City The Lost Egyptian city of Heracleion mysteriously vanished below the Mediterranean was considered to be the major port city in order access the Nile River. This unbelievable discovery includes more than 64 boats buried beneath thick clay, Gold coins, giant 16 foot statues, slabs of Greek and Egyptians text and more! What could have possibly caused the submergence of an entire city you may ask? Researchers suspect a rise in sea level contributed in this. Also liquefaction of the soil played a role; this means the ground basically turns to mud. Something like an earthquake can usually be a reason. These remarkable discoveries will be preserved and researched in order to learn more about this unique, and amazing culture.
