It doesn't seem to be remotely accurate as to the impact energy. A 1/2 mile asteroid impact energy will be vastly more than 1000 tonnes of TNT. One calculator shows ~150,000 MegaTon.

I am not sure about their devastation area calculations.

Nevertheless, it is an amazing find if the object is from 700BC!! I hope so.
