"Extraterrestrial Metals Found in 3,000-Year-Old Spanish Treasure"

A new analysis of the 3,000-year-old Treasure of Villena in Spain has revealed that some of the artifacts were made with meteoric iron, suggesting the use of extraterrestrial materials in ancient jewelry-making. The hoard, discovered in 1963, includes gold-plated objects such as a cap and bracelet containing the alien metal, likely from a meteor that crashed into Earth one million years ago. This finding sheds light on the transition from stone to bronze in ancient societies and suggests that using fallen meteorites to fashion objects was a common practice thousands of years ago, as seen in similar artifacts found in Tutankhamun's tomb.
