Meteorite iron swords are cool, I guess, but if you want a _really_ special sword you should use _telluric_ iron. It's basically the direct opposite of meteoric iron: Telluric iron is Earth's original native metallic iron (as opposed to iron ore) and most of it was lost in the Great Oxidization Event two billion years ago, so it is extremely rare. The only place you can find decent amounts of the stuff is this one place in Greenland.
I learned it like this: Asteroid = aster oid = Star-like phenomenon (up in the sky) Meteoroid = meteor oid = Weather-like phenomenon (hits the atmosphere) Meteorite = meteor ite = Weather phenomenon that touched the earth (crashed down) Comet = komi = phenomenon that looks like hair (up in the sky)
thank you for listing the sources. too many of these "science" channels never bother to list their references. it's unbelievably annoying when you try to see where they drew their conclusions from.
What everyone forgets, is that meteorites alone can't contain a main component, carbon, so best steel is made not only with iron but with quality coal . That is missing from meteorites.
There's a chinese martial arts movie called "Seven Swords" that features a bunch of warriors armed with swords forged from meteorites. Each sword has special properties that are almost magical. It's worth a watch.
In the Arthurian legend of the Sword in the Stone. The tale is that the young boy Arthur is the only person that can pulled a sword out of a stone put there by Merlin, the Wizard. I have long believed that the story was wrong and that the real version was that the Sword, Excaliber, was in the stone, A meteorite. Arthur draw the the Sword from the Stone. He smelted the Meteorite and fashion the sword from the iron, with the help of Merlin.
My favorite part of the story is that the sword was actually embedded in an anvil that stood _on_ a stone, but it's still consistently referred to as "the sword in the stone." That implies the blade went _all the way through_ the anvil and into the stone. I dunno, something about that is just funny and awesome to me. A few more fun facts: -I'm pretty sure Merlin didn't put it there, he just predicted that the true king would be the one to pull it free. The sword, anvil and stone apparently just appeared one day, and I think we're supposed to assume God did it. (Which could still work for your idea, since I guess a huge chunk of iron falling out of the sky might be viewed as a sign from God that you should make a sweet sword.) -Depending on the writer, the Sword in the Stone is sometimes the same as Excalibur, or Arthur broke his first sword in a duel and got Excalibur as a replacement from the Lady of the Lake. The former is the more common version these days, probably because it streamlines the story and is less confusing. -On that note, Arthur actually owned several special swords. One of them, Clarent, was stolen by Mordred, and Arthur handed a couple others out to his knights when they went on quests. In one story he even gives Excalibur away to Gawain because he'd gotten a hold of the sword of Hercules, which was apparently way better. -There was also a second sword in a stone that, IIRC, Galahad ended up pulling out. (Because _of course_ Galahad needed his own Sword in the Stone.)
well that story was invented in middle ages france over 500 years after any real king arthur who would have lived in wales, so your cringe fanfic is as close to truth as any i guess
It is way more mindblowing to me that they come up with iron smelting techniques centuries before their respective Iron Age. That's like people in the 16th century messing about with nuclear fission, absolutely wild!
@@chengong388So I googled it as I thought the same. Says here it is just 3% of the moons total mass. The hell? Sci Fi writers straight made the damn thing up! I shouldn't have googled.
Until it hits the ground, it is a meteor. Only once it lands does it become a "meteorite". "ite" is the common ending for mineral names, such as diorite, hematite, bauxite, etc.
its nice to see some one else here with a modicum of intelligence. It's like they just use words without even knowing what they mean He clearly doesn' know how stars die and think Iron is only formed in exploding stars...most stars die because they reach Iron and can't fuse anymore but they don't explode in a super nova...but it causes the top layers to balloon into a Gas Giant till that burns away and leaves nothing but an iron core...This guy definitely isn't very smart but he knows smart people like to watch smart shows...
Hey man, just wanted to say that this is an amazing video and I think it's really underappreciated. The visuals were really solid, props to your editor.
I used to wear one meteorite trinket around my neck similar to the one that you showed at the beginning, but unfortunately during my first year in France I lost it in a town called Nogent sur Oise near Creil where I stayed one year. I still feel I lost a part of me and also not to mention my mother scolding me until today whenever we brought it up. This is the third of such family heirloom I lost 😅 throughout my childhood until I turned adult. As a Tibetan the meteorite was given to me with a turquoise which is my LaaYu meaning spirit or souls turquoise or stone which both having significant importance. We did a tantric ritual along with it before tying the string.
The reason Metoric Iron was so special was that it's easier to work with then processing Iron Ore into anything useable, allowing a Bronze Age civilization to make basically a magic weapon for all intents and purposes. Now a days it's just another piece of iron, but back in the days of Bronze having an Iron sword gave you a distinct advantage.
maybe special in your sense...not really special in any other definition of the word. There's more of than then there are habitable planets...mass and count wise...

Quick correction, the second Hopewell Meteorite fell in Anoka Minnesota, not Mississippi Apart from that, This is an awesome video and taught me a lot of stuff I did not know (wanted to add this section after reading some of the other comments)
Now we have to split up it up to the 1st and 2nd "Iron Age". The Ancient Egyptians made iron tools, long before iron ore smelting. It is a 1,000 year gap between those events. In Australia we find these meteorites in our deserts because they are black, and out of place.
On "iron", the earliest Proto-Indo-European (which sets it back to 4500 - 2500 BC) reconstructed root of "iron" is apparently a derivation of *h₁ésh₂r̥ (“blood”). That's interesting to me as, at least in my head, the first thing that comes to mind when I think of blood is watery, running blood; not at all like what you'd get from working meteoric iron lol. I'm not saying they were liquifying iron that long ago as I have no evidence of that, but it's interesting.
@@KarolOfGutovo Whoops, I meant to bring up rust as well in that! Iron will rust without even being formed into a blade, so it could be seen as a defining trait as well. Though rust isn't the same shade as blood - though maybe it can be when dried?
but redwall was fake...a fiction, so he could have had adimantium for all it matters. Its cool when its real, its dumb af when its fiction and you guys still pipe up. Might as well just have created your own metal since its your own story. But you gotta have a bad case of writers block to chose not chose a cooler metal...like thors hammer...could have been a meteorite but isntead they call it uru metal....and in reality...Iron in a meteor and iron found in the crust are basically the same thing. They came from the same star blowing up.
The narrative is that comets are "Fluffy Nothings". Our newest meteor stream, The Taurids, was produced by the break-up of a comet, just like all other meteor streams, so comets contain all kinds of material, not just snow and sand.
Imagine how much ground you’d have to cover in order to find enough material. Or you’d have to be lucky enough to see one fall and find it. Either way, it blows me away that ancient people would undertake such mammoth tasks.
there is an area in namiba(?) that has tones of meteorites just lying on the sand in the desert. people knew about them for decades but it was only in the last few decades people identified them as meteorites and gathered them.

I don't think you know where iron comes from...iron is created in the star before it blows up...yes it happens after too but most stars don't blow up. They fuse elements to heavier elements but once it gets to iron it stops...But that means the Iron existed before you mention...So whats left after all the fusing is done is a iron core..... To go super nova...you need to have a star that has a high enough mass...other wise it grows to a Red giant...and then expels its outer layers which is when it leaves the hot iron core.... it sucks when people do smart videos, and say things that are the opposite of smart.
Why are you bringing fantasy bs into this? Wtf does comic book metals have to di any f'n thing to do with metoritic swords? You lost me as soon as you said vibrainium.
3:52 I looked this up, and it sounds like these Greek-Latin examples are not as you made out. From what I've read it doesn't seem wildly likely that Greek "sideros" is linked to Latin; it's unclear, and "semantically unconvincing". It seems as likely that σίδᾱρος (sidaros) is linked to a "silver", or Udi "zido" (“iron”), and there's also an idea that it just means "red metal". I was going to write out the ideas around Latin "sidus", but it's so damn tedious to write it all out that I can't be bothered lol. You can look it up haha.
into days terms this is call 15N20 steel and is used in pattern wielding . since the people who lived in africa Never learned how to smelt iron OR make steel on their own what we call Cold Hammmering would be the only process these people had to even start to shape the iron they did find.
