Good list. Much reading.

Now, back to Gilgamesh and Inkydoo ~

Inkydoo is the companion that came to play with Gilgamesh (the Moon). He ended up engaging in a lot of mischief but eventually ended up coming under the sway of Venus ~ rather than Earth ~ where he remains to this very day.

Inkydoo was an 'airy man ~ jus' like a comet ought to be. So, if we assume that the passes of Earth and Inkydoo occurred many times over several thousand years you get numerous opportunities for close call hunks of rock breaking loose from him and hitting Earth.

The reason they weren't destroying the planet was their relatively low velocity. That would also explain why their impact craters are so incredibly shallow without much surrounding ejecta.

I would imagine some astronomer is already working backwards on the Venusian moon's orbits to see when it came closest to Earth.

I immediately thought of the 2 mile crater in the Iraq Marshes, but I also recall reading about several craters of roughly the same age in Argentina. I think they may have been from 6 to 14 miles or kilometers in size. I also recall reading that there were two distinct episodes of particularly bad weather spread over a century or more around 2,000 BC.

Another item of interest is the Ipuwer papyrus, written by Ipuwer about the calamity occurring in Egypt at that time. It is in the Lyden Museum or University, I forget which. Overall this may have been a period of repeated boloid strikes and the resultant climate disasters. The mention of 12,600 BC may coincide with the probable boloid strike in upper North America. SC — The book!!

Enkidu, read the “Epic of Gilgamesh” obviously you haven’t, to many years with the Post Office I think.
