The Iron Man statue is a 24-centimeter, 10-kilogram sculpture depicting the Buddhist deity Vaiśravaṇa, made from First Civilization material.[1] Prior to World War II, the artifact was stolen from Tibet by Adolf Hitler's Schutzstaffel during their search for the origins of the Aryan race.[2]
In late September 2012, The Guardian, influenced by Abstergo Industries, falsely reported that the statue was made from a meteorite that crashed to the Earth 15,000 years ago. After applauding Erica Nichols for her work, Alan Rikkin ordered Laetitia England to recover the statue.[1] In late November that year, England responded to Rikkin's message,[3] stating the sculpture had been retrieved and replaced with a forgery.[4]
