I saw that same documentary about Tut's knee injury and it made sense. If there was ever a knife involved and I really don't think this is true it wouldn't have been made from steel it would have been made from gold or silver at that time in history.

The last documentary I saw about Tut said he'd suffered a severe injury to his knee -- so bad, his knee cap was completely gone. It's thought he lived a few days after the injury, because the bone surrounding the fracture showed signs of reacting to the injury. He probably succumbed to infection. He wasn't murdered -- the "fragments of bone" seen in earlier x-rays were explained by Dr. Zahi Hawass as nothing more than a result of the mummification process.
Anna Banana, if you're an Egyptology major, you should know that name.

Quite likely any reference to a steel knife is fictional anyway. But also, many people really don't acknowledge or even know there is a difference between and iron blade and steel.

I believe there were one or two IRON artefacts in his tomb. It was still a very rare metal, and probably came from a meteorite.

I'm an Egyptologist major and they cannot prove that. They now think he was bluggend to death. Broken skull pieces in the back of his head prove that too.

Never heard that one before.

Where, may I ask, did you hear of this fairy tale?
