"Check out Catastrophe: A Quest for the Origins of the Modern World by David Keys"

I read that.

I like the explanation by professor Mike Baillie in his excellent book, Exodus To Arthur
Although the trees worldwide record a catastrophic event at that time, Baillie explains that there isn't an acid layer (at this time) in the Ice Core samples that is indicitive of a volcano. He argues for a celestial event.

"The five harshest environmental events showing in the dendrochronology records are events at 2354-2345 BC, 1628-1623 BC, 1159-1141 BC, 208-204 BC, and 536-545 AD. In terms of climate, these time periods appear similar in that the growth ring evidence implies colder than usual temperatures and unusual rainfall patterns."

I believe the 1168BC event was the Exodus period and when Santorini/Thera/Akatori in the Mediterranean blew it's top.

Thanks. Note post # 28 making an argument that there could have been bunch of small, near-simultaneous, ocean impacts no one of which would have produced recognizable tsunami evidence but which together could have injected enough aerosols into the stratosphere.

Keys makes a good case for a truly dramatic event around 535 A.D. affecting climate worldwide.

here's a pretty graphic link to one of the titles mentioned by Blam. The other two are graphic-less. :')
