    Meteorites were often used as metal sources.

    Yeah they called it "metal of heaven" which interestingly also tells they knew what meteorites were

    Misleading headline. The metal in the dagger came from an iron meteorite. What is impressive, is the craftmanship of making the dagger.

    That props up the ongoing theory that it was indeed a "heavenly object". Pretty amazing what science can prove all those years later. A Cosmic dagger indeed...

    Thank you for sharing these fascinating news; they open to new fields of research. Meteorites passed through atmosphere and this, obviously can modify their molecolar structure and/or composition. It could be quite different from what is called outer space material.

    No, the internal structure of meteorites is always the same as it was in outer space. This info is not new either.

    If they had made that the drill tubes and other tools to shape rocks would be made just as good as now and add some diamond dust on mm, cm sizes and maybe higher that were used in cutting and details with art. They are still in Egypt or were melted down later after or transported outside Egypt and misplaced someplace on land or oceans and seas or are locked up and safe.

    Before jumping to conclusions, you should make sure you understand the point. From the use of language, I doubt you can judge scientific issues. Curiosity is a natural trigger for openminded people, and for scientists; inarticulated mutterings are a pastime.
