As with the Hard Concrete Drilling post, how does one go about 'Carving, a Iron/Cobalt/Nickel rock into a statue, in the 11th century of Tibet? Not sure anyone today can do so with primitive tooling, and NO Steel. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/carved-from-meteorite-this-thousand-year-old-statue-was-taken-from-tibet-by-the-nazi-ss-52313204/" rel="nofollow - Carved From Meteorite, This Thousand-Year-Old Statue Was Taken From Tibet by the Nazi SS

Patience and a lot of hard work using sharp rocks to chip away at it. Similar to the way some of my ancestors made arrow heads and spear points. ------------- Just an old country boy saved by the grace of God. |

| The Science stated that Tibetan Monks formed with Hammer and Chisel. HOWEVER, did not have Iron or Steel save for the Meteor in 11th century in Tibet. Did not begin fashioning Metal Prayer Idols until 13th. Kind of like the Granite Blocks in Peru, fit tight enough cannot slip a sheet of paper between and Predate the Inca or Aztec credited to have made. |
