It would seem the Egyptians had it. In 1911 a teenage boys tomb was opened up by archeologists and several artifacts discovered, several of which possessed iron beads strung together with gold and gems. The tomb dated to about 3200 BC, placing it before the Egyptians began using iron, thus the riddle of how they came by it (clearly they didn't see Stargate).
Far out.
Recent studies however have determined that the iron is indeed from a meteor and the necklace something of an anomaly. It was determined that the boy died of strangulation, and it is suspected that this necklace was a necklace of strangulation.
post script: I might have made that last part up.
