You ever get the feeling that we have done this before?

If this were proven to be true, it would definitely be an “inconvenient truth.” Let’s see Algore do something about comet debris...

The new idea is that these massive cultural disasters were caused by the impact of comets or other types of cosmic debris on the Earth.

If that were the case there would be massive impact craters that are somewhat fresh.

Where are they?

Of course it had to be a catastrophic event — we’re all into Hollywood special-effect type explanations.

We know Roman civilization (empire, really) just kind of peetered out & ultimately succumbed to barbarian invasions. Why can’t this have happened elsewhere and in other eras? At a lower state of technological development, civilization & pastoral lifestyles (advanced herdsman) lived in a kind of delicate balance. A population explosion among the herdsman followed by a drought, and entire ‘nations’ are set in motion. It’s like a game of billiards (or dominoes falling).

I don’t think these timelines really sync the way they are suggesting they do, so I’ll stick with the more mundane theories.

Well, I’m sure that it will be president Bush’s fault when it happens because he didn’t do anything to prevent it.

...and it was rich in hydrocarbons, resulting in a 40 year rain of manna.

Right, Dr. Velikovsky.
