Dagger with little gold beads thought to be TLP-attached. Nobody will cut up the sword to confirm. Tom's rhetorical move: "No interest in science."
Here is King Tut's dagger, which was 2500 BC. It's got these little beads on it. This gold sheath is what everybody thinks is so wonderful, but they also had little gold beads attached to brass or gold, and they think that the Egyptians used TLP to join the beads. But no one's willing to cut up the sword to find out. You've got to cut it up. No interest in science.
