In 1996, researchers discovered an extraterrestrial stone in Egypt which was later named after the 4-5th century scientist Hypatia of Alexandria. Further analysis of the alien pebble revealed that the diamond-filled stone did not come from any known comet or meteorite and had unique features.
Scientists have now discovered that the alien stone contains exotic micro-mineral compounds not found anywhere on Earth or on any meteorites or comets – these compounds are in fact found nowhere else in the entire Solar System. Some of the minerals found in the extraterrestrial space rock were found to predate the existence of the Sun, the Earth and all other Solar System planets.
