Warrior Tut
The rich array of objects found in Tutankhamun's tomb speak to the opulence of the Egyptian court and the young king's pampered life. But other items, including numerous throwsticks (sort of non-returning boomerangs), spears, bows and arrows, and chariots--many inscribed with his name and clearly used--attest his athleticism and youthful energy. Today, new evidence of Tutankhamun's reign has emerged that shows he was much more active than was thought, and may have led military campaigns against the Syrians and Nubians before he died...
Tutankhamun's knife was 'made from meteorite iron'
A dagger entombed alongside the mummy of Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun was made with iron that came from a meteorite, researchers say. The weapon was one of a pair of daggers discovered by British archaeologist Howard Carter in 1925 within the burial wrappings of the teenaged king.
King Tutankhamun Exhibit - Model Boomerang
Carter found many weapons such as bows, arrows, throw sticks and boomerangs in the Annex of the tomb. Along with these real instruments were models. A boomerang found in a box with several wooden ones, is one such model. Carved of ivory and capped in gold, it would be too delicate for frequent use, and the flat terminal is atypical for a boomerang.
