I would think that there would be abundant scientific evidence indicating nuclear explosions if they had occurred.

If these stone age people could make atomic bombs then why is Iran having such a hard time?

While passing through Alamogordo’s White Sands missile range, Albion W. Hart, one of the first engineers to graduate from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, observed that the chunks of glass left by nuclear tests were identical to the formations that he observed in the African desert 50 years earlier. However, the extension of the cast in the desert would require that the explosion be 10,000 times more powerful than that observed in New Mexico.

I debunked this on an earlier thread. MIT opened in 1861. Let's say Hart graduated in 1870 at the age of 20 (I'm being generous). That would mean Hart, if he toured Trinity in 1950, would have been 100 years old. I don't think so.

Off the top of my head, here are two other explanations: (1) Direct hit by a solar ejection (flare). (2) Direct hit by an extra-solar gamma ray burst. With the latter, a strong gamma ray burst could even boil off our atmosphere and melt the surface of the entire planet. (Odds of such happening are very very very ridiculously low.)

In short, it is a violent universe...

Sand dunes in the Egyptian desert. What phenomenon could be capable of raising the temperature of desert sand to at least 3,300 degrees Fahrenheit, casting it into great sheets of solid yellow-green glass?

Meteorite meets the desert...

“an epoch in which atomic technology was turned against man”; Cleansing at it’s best.

The glass is semi-identical.
ALL nuclear detonations have a half-life fingerprint indicating the major components of the weapon.

All the glass collected from the location in Egypt have zero of these half-life components.

How about a large meteor strike.

They had a whole show on the Discovery Channel about the glass in North Africa. Most scientist think it was an air burst explosion likely a comet like was observed in Siberia in early 1900’s. They have done several computer simulations to lend evidence to this. There have been lots of meteorite and comet hits on the earth.

temperature increases with pressure. perhaps these sands were beneath a lot of earth/other stuff a logn tiem ago, and migrated to the surface.

i’d buy that long before nuclear explosions in the ages past.
