I am fascinated with an impact in the Egyptian desert. One of the “stones” in a neckless that had graced a Pharos neck was glass. A fellow recognized it as glass and informed the staff at the museum. They went through quite a discussion and it was discovered to be glass. Egyptians didn’t have glass. Turns out a meteor blew apart just above the Egyptian desert sending tons of debris into space and created a “ field of glass” that then fragmented leaving the desert littered with glass fragments.
Very cool!
Kind of like Trinitite.
Neckless? A pharaoh with no neck?
Informative story, though.
