The Pyramid Texts cover walls within the pyramids of King Unis (shown here) and other royals at the site of Saqqara.

The aliens didn’t tell them?

So the writing was on the wall after all, and “that’s the end of the mustard plaster!”

Yes.
The ancient Egyptians did not know how to make steel, but used some (it would be extremally expensive!, a lot more expensive than gold).
Chemical analysis showed that the Egyptian steel is a mixture of iron and nickel in proportion found in iron meteorites.

Linguistic and archaeological evidence:

1. Tutankhamen’s grave goods included an iron headrest (can’t bring myself to call it a pillow!) made from meteorite iron.

2. The Greek word for iron is ‘sideros’ or “from the stars.” Our word “sidereal” as in “sidereal hour angle,” the correction in celestial navigation that “makes the stars stand still” in taking sextant sightings, comes from that word. While Srednik is aware that ancient Egypt is not Greek, he would remind the thoughtful reader that the Hellenic people the Philistines were invited by the ancient Egyptians to settle on their northern borders (Philistia is “north” in Greek) to protect Egypt from nasty Canaanites who raided Egypt border areas from that direction.

3. The Pharoah’s of Egypt claimed their origins and destinations were celestial.

4. Putting these facts together, it would seem Tut’s retinue included a “gift from his celestial family” in his grave goods.

Is there some way to work out and determine how often meteorites landed in Egypt in those days? Many would just assume that the frequency is similar to what we experience in the last 100 years of recorded history.
My guess is that throughout human history there have been periods when meteorites reached the earth’s surface more often than at other periods.

I went in that pyramid, on my visit to Egypt in 1979. :)
