Ososayensi baseJapan benze i-X-ray scan yenkemba etholwe ethuneni likaTutankhamun ukuthola ukuthi le nto yenziwa kanjani, insimbi yayo - njengoba kwaqinisekiswa ngo-2016 - yatholwa emkhathini. Ngokusho kwalolu cwaningo olusha, insangu yakhiwe ngokusetshenziswa kwezinga lokushisa eliphansi, kodwa ayizange yenziwe e-Egypt. I-athikili yososayensi yashicilelwa kujenali i-Meteoritics & Planetary Science. Insangu engamasentimitha angu-35 yatholwa abavubukuli ekamelweni lokungcwaba likaTutankhamun eSigodini Samakhosi ngawo-1920, phakathi kwamanye amagugu angcwatshwa nofaro. Insimbi yawo yayakhiwe, kodwa ososayensi bamangazwa ukuthi iNkathi Yensimbi yaqala ngemva kwekhulu leminyaka uTutankhamun ashona, futhi inkeba yayingathintwa ukugqwala.
Kancane kancane, abacwaningi bafinyelela esiphethweni sokuthi izinto zensimbi ezandulela ukusetshenziswa kabanzi kolwazi olufanele lwe-metalurgy zakhiwe ngensimbi ye-meteorite - izingcezu zensimbi ezawa emkhathini futhi zacutshungulwa emhlabeni. Izinto ezinjalo zazibaluleke kakhulu eGibhithe nakwamanye amazwe. Ucwaningo lwango-2016 lwaqinisekisa umsuka we-meteorite okungenzeka ube khona we-dagger metal, kodwa imibuzo isekhona mayelana nobuchwepheshe bokwenziwa kwayo. Abacwaningi manje sebefunde ukwakheka kwensingo ezingeni elincane besebenzisa i-X-ray fluorescence analysis futhi bathola insimbi, i-nickel, i-manganese ne-cobalt. Isulphur, i-chlorine, i-calcium ne-zinc nayo yatholakala ezindaweni ezimnyama eceleni. Okuthakazelisa kancane kunobukhona bezakhi zamakhemikhali ezithile kwaba ukusatshalaliswa kwazo, okwakubonisa ukuthi inkemba yayakhiwe nge-octahedrite, okungokwesigaba esivamile sesakhiwo sama-meteorite ensimbi. Abavubukuli bathole amanxiwa esikole esidala kunazo zonke saseShayina, asukela ekhulwini lesi-4 BC. “Sithole amachashaza amancane amnyama ebusweni benkemba,” kusho uTomoko Arai weChiba Institute of Technology eJapan, omunye wababhali balolu cwaningo. “Ekuqaleni besicabanga ukuthi ukugqwala.” Kodwa kuvela ukuthi lawa angama-sulfide e-iron, avame ukutholakala njengama-inclusions kuma-octahedral iron meteorites. ” ngaphansi kuka-950 ° C.
Nakuba ukuhlaziya amakhemikhali kungazange kucacise umsuka wenkemba, ososayensi baphumelele ngochungechunge lwamaphilisi aneminyaka engu-3,400 ubudala aziwa ngokuthi i-Amarna Archives, ebhala umsebenzi wobunxusa eGibhithe lasendulo maphakathi nekhulu le-14 BC. - ukuqonda ukuthi inkemba esesikebeni segolide - ngokusobala isisekeli esingavamile ngaleso sikhathi - yanikezwa u-Amenhotep III, umkhulu kaTutankhamun, yinkosi yaseMitani, lapho uFaro eshada nendodakazi yakhe. Ngakho-ke kungenzeka ukuthi i-space dagger kaTutankhamun kwakuyifa lomndeni elatholwa njengesipho esivela phesheya. Ukuhlaziya okuningiliziwe futhi kwabonisa ukuthi amatshe ayigugu esibambo senkemba ayebekwe ngendlela eyayisetshenziswa kakhulu eMitania, kodwa yayingasetshenziswa ngaleso sikhathi eGibhithe ngokwalo.
Inkemba akuyona ukuphela kwento esethuneni likaTutankhamun eyenziwe ngale nsimbi. UFaro wayebuye abe nomgexo onama-scarabs e-quartz encibilikisiwe - le nto yavela ngenxa yokuwa kwenye i-meteorite ogwadule lwaseLibya.
