This authentic Campo del Cielo meteorite fragment is a piece of the cosmos that fell to Earth between 4,000 and 5,000 years ago, crashing into the Gran Chaco region of northern Argentina and scattering iron fragments across a vast strewn field. Indigenous peoples knew of the site long before the outside world did — they named the area \"Campo del Cielo,\" meaning \"Field of the Sky,\" and held these metallic stones as something extraordinary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eSpanish explorers arrived in 1576 and confirmed what the indigenous communities had known for generations: this was no ordinary place.
