King Tut jewel, repurposed Glass from VERY high heat. Ancient nuke?
"Tutankhamun is probably the most famous Egyptian pharaoh in history, but new research may add even more majesty to his story, revealing that a piece of his jewelry contains a gemstone that was created during a comet impact roughly 28 million years ago.
The lustrous yellow-green scarab gemstone at the centre of Tutankhamun's golden pectoral was carved for him from a stone dug up from the Silica Glass Field, in the Saharan Desert of Libya and Egypt. Up until now, the source of this 6,000 square km patch of silica glass deposits was unknown, but it was known that the glass was caused by a burst of intense heat. Although a meteorite impact can cause this to happen, no crater has ever been discovered in the area, so it was most likely due to something else."
