3 Nephite History in Context 4 (September 2018) 1 The Iron Dagger of King Tutankhamun Neal Rappleye Background The discovery of King Tutankhamun s tomb in 1922 was a worldwide sensation, and to this day is widely regarded as one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of all-time due to the veritable treasure trove of artifacts found inside. The treasure was so great that to this day many of the items have yet to be studied. Likewise, Tutankhamun (ca BC) remains the best-known Pharaoh of Egypt in popular culture today, but details about his actual reign and accomplishments are still generally unknown among the public. Some are aware that he ascended to the throne as a mere child, about 8 years old, but few realize that he over saw an important period of transition into the post-amarna era in Egypt before dying in his late-teens about a decade later. 1 Among the treasures found in the tomb were two ornate daggers, each about a foot long, found directly on the body of Tutankhamun. 2 One, with a blade of hardened gold, was almost certainly ceremonial, but the other was a more practical, iron-bladed weapon with a decorative golden handle. 3 Both the iron blade and the golden-haft are still in remarkably good condition. As Carter described it, The haft of the dagger is of granulated gold, embellished at intervals with collars of cloisonné work of coloured stones, and is surmounted with a knob of turned rock crystal; but the astonishing and unique feature of this weapon is that the blade is of iron, still bright and resembling steel! 4 The dagger was most likely a gift from a Hittite ruler, based on the mention of a remarkably similar weapon in a list found at Amarna (EA 22) of offerings to Pharaoh Amenhotep III (ca ) from King Tušratta of Ḫatti: [1] dagger, the blade of which is of i[r]on; its guard, of gold, with designs; its haft, of ebony with calf figurines; overlaid with gold; its [pomm]el is of -stone; its [ ], overlaid with gold, with designs. 6 shekels of gold have been used on it. 5 After decades of debate, recent scientific analysis has determined that the blade was forged from meteoric iron, which is naturally alloyed with nickel, making it a bright, silvery color. 6 Egyptians
4 2 The Iron Dagger of King Tutankhamun referred to it as the iron of heaven, indicating their awareness that it came from meteors falling from the sky. 7 This metal, sometimes called nickel steel, 8 was of greatest rarity and value in ancient Egypt and the Near East. 9 Image Found in King Tutankhamun s tomb, this 14th century BC dagger of Hittite origin measures 13.5 in (34.2 cm) from end to end, with a blade resembling steel, 8.25 in (21 cm) long and 1.75 in (4.45 cm) wide, and an ornate gold handle. Photo credit: Daniela Comelli; John Wiley & Sons Book of Mormon Relevance Centuries after Tutankhamun, 1 Nephi reports that a military commander living in Jerusalem, named Laban, had a sword, with a hilt of pure gold, with workmanship [that] was exceedingly fine, and a blade of the most precious steel (1 Nephi 4:9). This description of Laban s sword calls to mind Carter s own description of Tutankhamun s dagger, with its granulated gold haft, ornate embellishments, and bright silvery-blade resembling steel. While the blade of Tutankhamun s dagger only resembled steel, 10 Laban lived at a time (ca BC), 11 when true steel blades were being made, as evidenced by the late-seventh century BC steel sword from Vered Jericho. 12 Based on the golden handles, both Laban s and Tutankhamun s weapons were probably prestige items, and perhaps Laban s steel blade was most precious because it, too, had been made from the silvery, highly rare and valuable, meteoric iron. 13 Furthermore, like the remarkably well-preserved dagger in Tutankhamun s tomb, Laban s sword was apparently still in useable condition centuries later. Benjamin, a second century BC Nephite king, used it in battle (Words of Mormon 1:13), and handed it down to his son Mosiah (Mosiah 1:16). The sword was passed on to Joseph Smith in the 1820s, and reports from those who saw it at that time suggest it was still in relatively good condition. 14

Rolph, Prophets, Kings, and Swords: The Sword of Laban and it s Possible Pre-Laban Origin, Journal of Book of Mormon Studies 2, no. 1 (1993): For references to seeing the sword from David Witmer, see Dan Vogel, ed., Early Mormon Documents, 5 vols. (Salt Lake City, UT: Signature Books, ), 5:29, 32, 35, 38, 43, 48, 51, 77, 91, 113, 116, 121, 160, 162, 170, 177, 187, 213, 220. From Martin Harris, see Vogel, EMD 2:335, 352, 353, 355, 358, 367. While neither Joseph Smith, nor any of the three witnesses (Martin Harris, David Whitmer, and Oliver Cowdery) ever provided a detailed description of the sword, in 1870 Fayette Lapham remembered a conversation with Joseph Smith Sr. more than 40 years earlier in which he indicated that the blade of the sword had rusted away, but the gold hilt was still in good condition (see Vogel, EMD 1:462). However, since Joseph Sr. never himself saw the sword, Lapham s late recollection is at best third-hand, and should be considered with appropriate caution. Since those who saw it repeatedly described seeing a sword, and not just a hilt, it seems likely that the blade was still intact, and the weapon s overall condition was good enough to be recognized by non-specialists as a sword. On the other hand, Francis Gladden Bishop claimed to also have seen the sword and published a detailed description of it in 1851 (see Holbrook, p n.103). Bishop s description of the sword as somewhat dagger shaped, with precious stones in the golden hilt and guard, and with a pearl at the end is interesting in light of the dagger found in Tutankhamun s tomb and those mentioned in the Amarna Letters (EA 22), with their colored stone embellishments and crystal knobs at the end. Some details (like the four-cross guard), however, would be out of place in the ancient world. Interestingly, Bishop also traced the origins of the sword back to Joseph in Egypt (Holbrook, p. 71; cf. Rolph, pp ), which would date the weapon to the mid-second millennium BC, making it essentially contemporary with the dagger of Tutankhamun and those mentioned in Amarna. As a high-ranking officer just below Pharaoh, Joseph realistically could have received a similar weapon as a diplomatic gift (though Joseph would be chronologically early for Egyptian-Hittite relations). Bishop s claims to seeing the sword should be viewed with skepticism, however, since he was repudiated by Joseph Smith in 1842; and thus his description, like Lapham s, should be considered with caution.
