Did you mean to say it would surprise or wouldn’t surprise you? It would not surprise me, given for example the Chesapeake Meteor 34 mya which was joined by the Popogai and Toms River craters at roughly the same time.

I guess you have missed Sunken Civ’s numerous postings of Firestone et al.’s recent book on this subject. Google the author, or perhaps SC will post it again. It is very interesting read and pulls together numerous and widespread anomolies and explains them.

I've got the book. In fact, I think I may have been the first to ping Civ to it on a thread way back covering some of their research. The book release was announced while the thread was active. Anyhow, agreed, Firestone et al present a compelling case for cosmic nastiness ~13,000 years ago. Coincidentally, after reading some of the followup on the web I also know they have been dealt no small amount of grief from others in the Scientific Community™ for their heresy. It seems the scientific PTB want that little jolt to the planet shoved down the rabbit hole. Does it come to close to verifying what ancient texts, including the Bible, say about our past? It makes no sense.

My memory not being what it used to be, for example, I don't recall much if anything in the book about enormous waves or widespread flooding that could have occurred that may explain artifacts found in unbelievable numbers and in the oddest places around the globe. But that may be more a factor of my memory than their book. I'll have to re-read it one day. I'm presently re-reading one of Velikovsky's works that I had trouble assimilating on first read.

Thanks for the heads up.

It wouldn’t surprise me, I probably fell asleep when I typed whatever I typed up there. See, I even bore myself. :’)
