Spanish researchers have made a groundbreaking discovery, finding that two ancient iron artifacts from the Late Bronze Age were crafted using iron from meteorites. The artifacts, a portion of an iron bracelet or ring and half of a hollow iron sphere adorned with gold filigree, were part of the Villena Treasure, a cache dating back around 3,000 years. The findings challenge the conventional understanding of metallurgy during the Bronze Age and shed light on the innovative techniques employed by ancient civilizations. Scientists are now working to trace the origins of the extraterrestrial material, unraveling an archaeological mystery of epic proportions.
