"If there was an impact in the last 10,000 years, then the logic would be that the survivors would be talking about it and including it in their traditions and legends," Peiser says. "If this proves to be an impact crater of a very young age, then this could have enormous consequences for our view of societal evolution and potentially might answer a lot of questions in the history of South America."

Imagine that.

the largest hydrogen bomb ever detonated had the power of one megaton of dynamite

The largest was in fact a 50 megaton bomb dropped by the USSR
on 31 Oct 1961 over Novay, Zemlya. It was given the Tzar Bomba.

Sounds like taking a "salt lick" of sorts to attract the bugs away from the workers might be handy.

It was given the Tzar Bomba

Oops. It was given the name "Tzar Bomba"

Thanks for the plunk. I wonder if perhaps a meteorite might have impaled rather than exploded in soils that deep. If the magnetometers see it, they may end up able to pay those natives their million bucks and then some.

Yup. They were describing it in unusual terms.
