The Shang dynasty collapsed after a worldwide cooling event that was recorded in the tree-rings in 1159BC. Some believe the cooling event was caused by a comet impact. It is recorded that at the end of the Shang dynasty, '250,000 took to the sea'.

Professor Digs For Clues To Our Survival

Well D'uh. This one is easy. We survived because Harold Camping was wrong

“’250,000 took to the sea’.”

Fascinating. I wonder what happened to them.

“74,000 years ago.”

So, the accepted number is now 10,000? I’ve seen SWAGs as low as 2,000.
