Did the Sumerians fly over to see the impact damage?

Here’s what it says: “Price of wheat too high. Women and minorities hit hardest. It’s Bush’s fault!”

And repeating this hoax makes it now plausible?

Scholars were perplexed when it appeared that the mesage read, “If you want a deal on a car, go see Cal...”

I read somewhere that this is what lead people to think that dragons actually existed. The fireball, low angle and burning of people’s hair and clothes, it makes perfect sense.

Let's put these together and get some of the FR slide-rule boys to figure out total energy:

"but the other half of the tablet records an object large enough for its shape to be noted even though it is still in space.

"the asteroid is over a kilometre in diameter

"The giant landslide centred at Köfels in Austria is 500m thick and five kilometres in diameter "

""The ground heating though very short would be enough to ignite any flammable material - including human hair and clothes. It is probable more people died under the plume than in the Alps due to the impact blast."

This sounds pretty farfetched to me. What do you guys think?
