750 Words3 Pages

The Iron Plate
Colonel Howard Vyse, John Perring and James Mash; investigated the Great Pyramids in Egypt and had planned/engineered many explosions. This artifact was the artifact of what was to be described of by George Sandy more than 200 years before.This piece of iron seemed to be the “oldest piece of iron known to man.” The piece of iron was found in the Great Pyramids of Gizeh, in Egypt. The Iron Plate was about 26 cm long, 8.6 cm wide, and .4 cm in thickness. Plate weighed 750 Grams in total. The plate also seemed to be black. The significance in this artifact is that it is seemed to be “the steel known to man.” That is huge because it seemed to be years and years before what was thought of at the time. The iron seemed to be left in the Great Pyramids so that it could not be asserted.

The artifact comes from the Great Pyramids. Some have theories that the Rock was placed deep in the pyramids on purpose to hide it. A theory is that one of Vyse’s men put in charge of many of the explosions found the rock a month before and hid it from everyone else. Also, others say that iron seemed to make it there a bit more modern making it not as old and this made Hill think it was there the whole time.

The piece of slab was then examined and studied by professor Pitre and he discovered

The voyage was made in Hatshepsut’s 9th year of her reign and took five ships filled to the brim with tradable goods such as wine, beer barley, cloth, daggers, axes, swords and etc. This was Hatshepsut’s most recognisable expedition that have been clearly depicted on many temples (karnake) in order to demonstrate to the people her success that can be seen doing Amuns will and being profitable to Egypt.
