Extraterrestrial "Iron Man": Buddhist Statue, Discovered By Nazi Expedition, Is Made Of Meteorite, New Study Reveals
Priceless thousand year old statue is first carving of a human in a meteorite
It sounds like an artifact from an Indiana Jones film; a 1,000 year-old ancient Buddhist statue which was first recovered by a Nazi expedition in 1938 has been analysed by scientists and has been found to be carved from a meteorite. The findings, published in Meteoritics and Planetary Science, reveal the priceless statue to be a rare ataxite class of meteorite.
A thousand year-old ancient Buddhist statue known as the Iron Man
The statue, known as the Iron Man, weighs 10kg and is believed to represent a stylistic hybrid between the Buddhist and pre-Buddhist Bon culture that portrays the god Vaisravana, the Buddhist King of the North, also known as Jambhala in Tibet.
The statue was discovered in 1938 by an expedition of German scientists led by renowned zoologist Ernst Schäfer. The expedition was supported by Nazi SS Chief Heinrich Himmler and the entire expeditionary team were believed to have been SS members.
Schäfer would later claim that he accepted SS support to advance his scientific research into the wildlife and anthropology of Tibet. However, historians believe Himmler’s support may have been based on his belief that the origins of the Aryan race could be found in Tibet.
It is unknown how the statue was discovered, but it is believed that the large swastika carved into the centre of the figure may have encouraged the team to take it back to Germany. Once it arrived in Munich it became part of a private collection and only became available for study following an auction in 2007.
The first team to study the origins of the statue was led by Dr Elmar Buchner from Stuttgart University. The team was able to classify it as an ataxite, a rare class of iron meteorite with high contents of nickel.
“The statue was chiseled from a fragment of the Chinga meteorite which crashed into the border areas between Mongolia and Siberia about 15,000 years ago,” said Dr Buchner. “While the first debris was officially discovered in 1913 by gold prospectors, we believe that this individual meteorite fragment was collected many centuries before.”
“The Iron Man statue is the only known illustration of a human figure to be carved into a meteorite, which means we have nothing to compare it to when assessing value,” concluded Dr Buchner. “Its origins alone may value it at $20,000; however, if our estimation of its age is correct and it is nearly a thousand years old it could be invaluable.”
The fall of meteorites has been interpreted as divine messages by multitudinous cultures since prehistoric times, and meteorites are still adored as heavenly bodies. Stony meteorites were used to carve birds and other works of art; jewelry and knifes were produced of meteoritic iron for instance by the Inuit society.

Buddhist Alien Nazi Iron Man? you cant even kill that it will just be reincarnated anyway! no wonder Hitler wanted it, more brutal than the manbearpig.
Big deal things of wood and stone, sheeart ! whAT DOES IT TAKE , SON OF MAN.
What did these ancient peoples use to “carve” a piece of Iron? Bronze? Not possible.
This is NOT a Swastika; the Nazi Swastika had the points going the opposite direction. At least one of the Native American tribes has an identical or extremely similar symbol in their sacred ceremonies. The symbol on the Buddha has a far different, SPIRITUAL meaning – life everlasting.
This piece is most likely much older than advertised by this university, possibly hundreds of thousands of years old. These professors are not able to accept this because of the limitations they have placed on themselves — they are not willing to accept things that objectively exist and sit in their collections and museums, because these things completely repudiate their current systems.
Stone and metal objects like this have no way to affirmatively be dated with current technology, therefore any dates suggested are just a guess and are forced to fit into the present scientific thinking.
Notice the shoes. They look almost completely modern, with distinct soles and a heel.
The swastika is an ancient symbol of the attainment status of the person who is imaged on the sculpture. People with this symbol have attained buddhahood.
The two circles behind him are also important. The one around his head is a “halo”, something you also see around saints and other enlightened beings who have attained Arhat status or greater. The larger circle around his whole body represents his paradise, a place where he can save people to. In the west, this would be known as a Heavenly Kingdom.
It’s a remarkable sculpture.
I suggest you let the Buddhist speak for them selves.
Its not a nazi simble. Loads of different cultures around the would used it from india to south america, and it just means that whoever wears the simble becomes immortal.
Hitler took their symbol and reversed it. NAZI buffs will recognize that the Swastika is going the wrong direction It ain’t the same thing. It’s the polar opposite of the same thing.
You do realize that the Nazi’s used an ancient symbol of peace to represent themselves, right? The swastika has been around a lot longer than Germany.
