Sci/Tech Buddhist ‘Iron Man’ found by Nazis is from space

[tom_mai78101]

A Buddhist statue brought to Germany from Tibet by a Nazi-backed expedition has been confirmed as having an extraterrestrial origin.

Known as the ‘iron man’, the 24-cm high sculpture may represent the god Vaiśravaṇa and was likely created from a piece of the Chinga meteorite that was strewn across the border region between Russia and Mongolia between 10,000 and 20,000 years ago, according to Elmar Buchner of the University of Stuttgart, and his colleagues.

In a paper published in Metoritics & Planetary Science, the team reports their analysis of the iron, nickel, cobalt and trace elements of a sample from the statue, as well as its structure.

They found that the geochemistry of the artefact is a match for values known from fragments of the Chinga meteorite. The piece turned into the ‘iron man’ would be the third largest known from that fall.

Voodoo-Priests carved it with the blood of their unborn children.

Even Buddhism itself isn't that old. 10,000 years ago was when the meteor piece hit earth.

I do like the idea of "Bhuddist" vodoo priests sacrificing unborns to forge an iron man from outer space so it could be found by Nazis over 9000 years later.
