Apparently ancient people would make things out of meteorites. The Bible even has a recounting of a speech from an official in Ephesus—-

“People of Ephesus! What person is there who doesn’t know that the city of the Ephesians is the temple guardian of the great Artemis, and of the image that fell from heaven?” -Acts 19:35

I assume someone found a meteorite which had feminine curves somewhat and they built the Temple of Diana around it. fascinating.

I’ve seen speculation that the Kaaba’s black stone was a meteorite, but more likely it’s some kind of black volcanic stone or glass.
