Personally i would like to believe that what you are claiming here is true, but i get tired of seeing these types of claims repeated again and again with no real evidence to back them up.
Hi

I can understand your point.

However, I never said that I am a specialist in keris affairs....

I am just quoting what I have heard in the past and even now, by some people from Java and Surabaya, people who I estimate and respect a lot, for their opinion in matters like these. People who handle, thousands of keris literally, and live with these objects for many years knowing every single aspect of keris. They are considered experts in this field and the most important is that they don't make a living from selling keris, so their knowledge is completely "clean" if I may say.

I just offered an explanation from another point of view. Everyone is free to believe it or not. It is just another opinion.

I am not just a collector of keris (I only have 4 keris and one tombak, so not too much of a collector yet, I guess ).
I am interested into the metaphysics, so I see this aspect of keris culture with a genuine interest.

If someone here has an experience concerning the power of a keris, does he have also to prove his claims or to indicate some kind of source? I don't think so.
This is the same with me (please keep in mind that I could share stories too, but I choose not to do so, out of respect to such sensitive matters).

There were meteorites before Prambanan. Small ones in villages and in the wild, or from trading with other countries like China for example and the list goes on. Small meteorites fall all the time in the planet.
Prambanan just happened to have good "public relations"

Best
