I remember reading something in the big two volume encyclopedia of mythology that the fay supposedly called iron "star killer" which is interesting because when a star starts fusing iron it's only moments away from going nova.
No I don't believe they had a clue, but it was an odd thing to stumble across.

@Willow_Wisp I love little facts like that

It is interesting that the story is also almost certainly made up. Judah is not written about by any other account but the Jewish religious historical fiction.

@DavidLaDeau Prof. Yosef Garfinkel, the Yigal Yadin Professor of Archaeology at the Institute of Archaeology at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, announced today the discovery of objects that for the first time shed light on how a cult was organized in Judah at the time of King David. [phys.org]

The legendary history of David and Solomon in the 10th century BCE tells little about the origins of Judah.[13] The Tel Dan Stele shows an historical "House of David" ruled a kingdom south of the lands of Samaria in the 9th century BC,[14] and attestations of several Judean kings from the 8th century BC have been discovered. [en.m.wikipedia.org]

@Word Wow one does not even habe to read it to know its full of crap. There was no "King David" at the most it was a legend written hundreds of years after the leader of a very small village died.

The Tel Dan Stele does not establish that there was a Kind David.

@Green_Soldier71 Many of the stories, persons, and gods, found in the Bible, such as Noah for example, are also found in far earlier accounts and writings, from all across the Middle East, and even before the Babylonians. One thing that the Bible is not, is original.
