> So, this fall being dated to < 5 K Y old confirms the possibility that this may have been an observed fall. And may have hit and caused scars on some of the victims. 
> Not only do these ancient figures display real meteoric iron but, they display the same texture as this unique and amazing Kamil irons do. And now the time of the fall coincides as well. 
> Maybe this was an observed fall after all and maybe it did harm some folks? And these figures are proof of that event? 
> And maybe the dubious find location of these great "Scarfaces" can finally be known?
