"3000-Year-Old Treasure Reveals Extraterrestrial Metal Crafting, Scientists Confirm"

TL;DR Summary
Spanish researchers have found that two iron artifacts from a hoard of precious treasure dating back to the Late Bronze Age contain iron from meteorites estimated to be around 1 million years old. The artifacts, part of the Villena Treasure, have long puzzled researchers due to their chronology predating the widespread smelting of iron. Analysis using a spectrometer strongly suggests the iron came from space, shedding new light on ancient metallurgy practices and prompting further investigation into the origins of the extraterrestrial material.
