In 2008 a team of Italian and Egyptian scientists was studying the Egyptian desert aiming for archeological ruins with google Earth. Then they found a crater and next year an expedition was organized to reach it, recovering some iron meteorites.
It is estimated that the impact occurred 5000 years ago. Apparently the falling rock exploded at low altitude, forming a crater 45 meters in diameter and leaving many intricate meteorites scattered around it.
Gebel Kamil is classified as an iron ungrouped ataxite meteorite.
