Campo del Cielo, meaning "Field of the Sky", meteorites were discovered by Europeans in Argentina in 1576 but the craters had been known and worshipped by aboriginal Indians for hundreds of years before that. Carbon dating of the charred wood fragments taken from beneath the meteorites indicate they fell to earth around 2200BC. The crater field is 2 miles wide by 12 miles long with 26 craters. These meteorites hit the earth's atmosphere traveling up to 150,000 miles per hour, landing in the Chaco province of northern Argentina.
