From a VERY long COMPANION ARTICLE it seems the group which includes Firestone, Kennett et al have settled on ~12,900 years ago. No mention of their dating method that I could find.
Now Berringer is a whole 'nother story. I haven't read anything anywhere(haven't really looked) about their dating method. Many moons ago???
Well done but eeewwww!!! I think null and void may be a guy.
Hung a few tags on it...

“A Defense of Virginia and the South”
SHEESH; I’m getting a headache!!! How’s about the Cliffs Notes version?
It is interesting that more and more evidence is piling up to support the hypothesis in Firestone et al.’s book. The article talks of the ice age ending at the time of the Younger Dryas which was then made worse. My understanding is the the ice age was ending around 15 to 18,000 years ago, and that this event/series of events triggered the Younger Dryas. Firestone’s book documents very widespread effects from Canada to our Southwest and even northwestern Europe. My vote would be for more than one impactor. After all, remember how many boloids struck Jupiter a few years ago.
The Carolina Bays are one such phenomenon possibly caused. My guess is that huge blocs of ice were thrown out, skidded to a stop and melted. Lake Michigan appears to have been formed by 2 or 3 impactors whose traces are found underwater. The Clovis culture was decimated as were large numbers of the great mammals.
The Tungusku event was small by comparison. A similar event occurred in the Brazilian jungle several decades later but was somewhat smaller in size. We are only beginning to appreciate the impact of boloid events on our earth and our history. Sunken Civ has brought to our attention the discover of a 2 mile crater in the drained Iraq Marshes whih fell about 4,000 years ago. Was this the cause of the First Intermediate Period in Egypt about that time? Ipuwer records a time of terrible social upheaval and distress in a papyrus. There are also fairly large meteor craters found in Argentina around the same period or perhaps a little earlier. So much to learn, so little time!! But first we have to use our open minds.
Again with the anti-Bible stuff.
Slavery, as mentioned/defined/used in the Bible is NOT the slavery we encountered here. It was more ‘indentured servant’ style. In no place does the Bible ‘endorse’ the practice of slavery, as we know it to be.
Context, especially historical, is everything.
I read several essays by Robert Schoch last night who, for whatever reasons I give some elevated credence to. Most everything I've read of his APPEARS an honest assessment, circumventing most of the PCBS, but that's just me. Anyhow, early on he leaned towards impactor(s) but he now leans more towards plasma discharges, from whatever source(s), primarily our sun. He tiptoed around Velikovsky's premise of a close flyby of say, Venus, by alluding to OTHER possible charged bodies. BTW, he doesn't eliminate impactors altogether and confesses there may have been more than one contributing factor. FWIW...
Really? Do you know nobody personally that believes this? I sure as a literal hell don’t.
You’re responding to a 9 year old post?
May I Lobby you to find a better Hobby?
Oh wait, they’re closed on Sunday, nvrmnd.
And in case you missed it,
“I find it every bit as true as most Christians use the Bible to justify slavery.”
Since most, nearly all, Christians do NOT use the Bible to justify slavery, I find it untrue.
