The Big Iron Post

At the Qutub Minar complex, there is an iron pillar which has been there since the 12th century. this pillar was actually cast sometime earlier than that (I can't remember how early, but I think it's 600-900 AD). This iron pillar has been standing there for over 1000 years, but there is no rust on it. It is a fact which defies modern understanding of metallurgy. Very interesting. The legend is that if you stand with your back to it and your hands encircling it, any wish you make will be granted. Unfortunately, they put up a fence so you can't do this anymore...

Oetzi says...what's iron? We didn't have that in the bronze age... Must be pretty good stuff!
