Silica glass

Thought to be caused by a giant meteorite landing about 29 million years ago, the silica glass is spread in surprisingly small area- about 50 square kilometers or less, in the Great Sand Sea. King Tutankhamun’s
chest scarab was made of silica glass. How it was transported from that remote part of the desert to Thebes is another mystery.
