Great read thanks maybe the 4th will have an epic finale
Cool stuff.
An impact like that would melt the glaciers really, really fast. And it would have literally scraped the face of the earth down to bedrock. If it hit in North America, this would explain the erosion in the south west.
And it explains “The Flood.” Doesn’t change the biblical narrative at all.
Imaginative fellow.
“Pillar 2: The second central pillar of Enclosure A, likely depicts the sequence of constellations, Capricornus (bull), Aquarius (fox) and Pisces (tall bending bird), which would likely have been the path of the radiant of the northern Taurid meteor stream circa 10,000 BC. Possibly, this pillar represents the name of that meteor stream.
“We know the Taurids exhibit longitudinal precession of roughly 30 degrees every 6,000 years, which equates to about 4 hours along the ecliptic from today’s radiant path if translating to 10,000 BC). This means the current path of the Northern Taurids shown in Stellarium (mid-Pisces through Aries to the end of Taurus) would translate to mid-Capricornus through northern Aquarius to end-Pisces, as shown on Pillar 2. The fox, though, is facing the wrong way, so I have reversed Aquarius in the image below.
“Similarities with the Cartouche writing convention of AE is clear - see an example in the middle below. See also a stone plaquette (below right) found at GT, which has a similar structure. Possibly, this stone plaquette tells the story of the comet god (trident symbol) who attacked and killed (explosion symbol) the cosmic serpent god (falling snake symbol) who fell to Earth, perhaps a mythical description of the Younger Dryas event. It is a myth, the ‘chaoskampf’, repeated in many religions, including by the Ancient Egyptians (Set vs Apep), Babylonians (Marduk vs Tiamat), and Christians (the fall of Satan). The site’s archaeologists interpret this stone plaquette simply as the sequence (the other way up), snake, tree, bird, with no further meaning.
“The bull symbol at the top of Pillar 2, likely representing the constellation Capricornus, is probably connected to many ancient cow deities and entities, including those of Ancient Egypt (e.g. Hathor and Apis) and the Babylonian Bull of Heaven, and even the Pictish Burghead Bull symbols. Typically, the bull is associated with death, an association that might date back to the the Lascaux Shaft Scene and a time when the Taurid meteor stream was probably centred on Capricornus.”

are there not prevailing westerlies? i am confused...
Why are the impact and cold oceans theories incompatible?
(Or am I just not a libtard, back-stabbing academic stuck in an intellectual dungeon of my own creation?)
As they should be
All impact caused xx extinction hypothesis fail in one regard, and it's the same issue the Noah's flood people have. Where are the bodies?
The fossil record should be littered with bodies of extinct animals at the time of impact, but no where is this the case. With the YD impact, most species in most areas went extinct thousands of years after the fact (and not coincidentally whenever man showed up). With the Dinosaurs they were long gone before their supposed extinction level impact. Of course the answer to this is more & more epicycles impacts.
The YD impact hypothesis is just a bad attempt to keep alive the Noble Savage myth.
Bigger than anything that has happened since then.
Also not debatable; burning "fossil fuels" is a climate nothing burger.

Thanks Red Badger. That Ancient Origins website though, still kind of a pile of coprolite.
The Younger Dryas impact hypothesis: review of the impact evidence | Martin Sweatman | School of Engineering | Earth-Science Reviews | 19 May 2021Abstract | Firestone et al., 2007, PNAS 104(41): 16016-16021, proposed that a major cosmic impact, circa 10,835 cal. BCE, triggered the Younger Dryas (YD) climate shift along with changes in human cultures and megafaunal extinctions. Fourteen years after this initial work the overwhelming consensus of research undertaken by many independent groups, reviewed here, suggests their claims of a major cosmic impact at this time should be accepted. Evidence is mainly in the form of geochemical signals at what is known as the YD boundary found across at least four continents, especially North America and Greenland, such as excess platinum, quench-melted materials, and nanodiamonds. Their other claims are not yet confirmed, but the scale of the event, including extensive wildfires, and its very close timing with the onset of dramatic YD cooling suggest they are plausible and should be researched further. Notably, arguments by a small cohort of researchers against their claims of a major impact are, in general, poorly constructed, and under close scrutiny most of their evidence can actually be interpreted as supporting the impact hypothesis.
