Experts: Ancient Egyptian Artifacts of Extraterrestrial Origin

According to the news report, the three beads in the center are made of iron.

These were found in a burial from 3200 BCE and according to the referenced article from the online Journal of Archaeological Science:

The production of iron metal from ore only started in the mid-second millennium BC…

There is a gap of a few years here, however the disparity is explained by the presence of unique concentrations of elements that prove it came from a meteorite. According to the article:

X-ray scanners, meanwhile, showed that the meteorite iron had been repeatedly heated and hammered to make the precious jewels for the afterlife.
The researchers say the finding shows that the Egyptians were already advanced in the art in smithing by the fourth millennium BC.
Meteoritic iron is much harder and more brittle than copper, the commonly-worked material of the time.
“They were rolled and hammered into shape,” says Thilo Rehren, a UCL professor of archaeology.
“This is very different technology from the usual stone bead drilling, and shows quite an advanced understanding of how the metal smiths worked this rather difficult material.”

Glacier Tracks on the Arctic Ocean Floor

The theory that the Americas were populated by peoples from Asia over the Bering Land Bridge may have some support. Not that these were the only people that made the journey, but a news report details:

“Geologists and geophysicists have discovered traces of large ice sheets from the Pleistocene on a seamount off the north-eastern coast of Russia, confirming for the first time that within the past 800,000 years in the course of ice ages, ice sheets more than a kilometer thick also formed in the Arctic Ocean.”

The evidence indicates that these enormous ice sheets didn’t only form on the continents, but also in the oceans, except during the height of the last ice age (21,000 BP.)
The results are from a seamount north of Wrangel Island in Russian waters, northwest of the Bering Straits.

While obviously more research is necessary to talk about the extent of the Arctic Ocean ice sheets, the possibility exists that earlier Ice Ages provided a path to the Americas, not just during the last Ice Age. Another possibility is that the sheets of ice might have also provided access from either side of the continent. After all, doesn’t the Arctic Ocean touch the Atlantic and Pacific?
