Scientists find Buddhist carving made from a meteorite.
In what has to be one of the more interesting finds in recent times, scientists have discovered that an 11th century carved Buddhist statue in fact originated from space. This is not to suggest that aliens are Buddhists and sent their treasure to Earth or perhaps accidently dumped the statue out a garbage chute. The Buddha is man-made, but the material it’s made from is a meteorite that crashed to the planet somewhere between 10,000 and 20,000 years ago.
