Ancient warriors were using asteroids to gain an edge in battle.
Aliens might not have built the ancient pyramids — but ancient humans apparently employed alien weaponry: Researchers have discovered that a 3,000-year-old arrowhead found in Switzerland was actually comprised of meteorite, proving that “extraterrestrial weapons” aren’t just relegated to science fiction flicks.
“A single object made of meteoritic iron has been identified,” authors wrote in the study, which is slated to be published in the September edition of the Journal of Archaeological Science.
While tools comprised of space rocks have been discovered before, they are extremely rare. This is only the third ever meteor-based artifact to be discovered in Central and Western Europe, according to the archaeological researchers.
The extraterrestrial projectile, which dated back to the Bronze Age (800-900 BCE), was one of several arrowheads reportedly uncovered by archaeologists in the 19th century at the Mörigen archaeological site, situated at the Lake of Biel.
