They did it! 🙌 Will Sherman @medievalarrows an They did it! 🙌

Will Sherman @medievalarrows and Ian Thackray @the_village_smith successfully completed Ian’s astonishing meteorite project at the @chalkevalleyhistoryfestival.

Over the course of 7 days,  they flattened, rolled and polished 4,500 year old Egyptian meteorite that fell in Gebel Kamil to form replica beads as found in the Gerzeh 67 tomb by Flinders Petrie. 

Using nothing but blowpipes, charcoal, hammer stones and sandstone polishing blocks Ian's theories and research attracted some of the biggest names in modern history and archaeology,  including @thehistoryguy and stone tool legend, Dr Phil Harding.
