Men seem to have always taken an interest in meteorites, but not until the early nineteenth century were these objects considered worth preserving for scientific study.
In the beginning, people believed that because meteorites fell from the heavens, they were either gods themselves or messages from the gods. Thus the more civilized of early men carefully kept the meteorites, drapping them in costly linens and anointing them with oil.

Attila and other early conquerors of Europe. boasted of "swords form heaven".
