Professor Mike Baillie dates the comet swarm mentioned closer to the 540AD period. (...and it was the cause and beginning of the dark ages, which was a worldwide event.)

American Indians had stories of white men long before Columbus got here.
If memory serves me correctly, at least the Kickapoo, Natchee, & Cayuga had these legends of white men with blue eyes that lived among them.
To: blam
Something even more interesting - when the first "modern" white men encountered the Kickapoo, the Kickapoo had Greek & Roman coins that had been handed down thru generations
Hard telling where in North America they actually came from as the Kickapoo were known to be great travellers & explorers

When do we celebrate Madoc Day?
As for comet swarms, many believe that now is the time...the Planet Xers thought it would be charging into our solar system last month.
Too much to worry about.

For instance, the best recorded and defining event of "Dark Age" Britain was the devastation caused by debris from a comet, which struck in 562. Dr Victor Clube, Professor of Astrophysics at Oxford University, estimates this as having been an equivalent of a scatter of at least 100 Hiroshima-size atomic bombs. Unsurprisingly, great tracts of land were rendered uninhabitable and populations were wiped out, giving rise to subsequent literature relating to "The Great Wastelands" of Arthurian Britain, the "Yellow Plague" and the "Coming Of The Dragon". Seen in this context, all are symbolic of the same cataclysmic event… Where did it hit ?

The most destructive phenomenon to strike this earth appeared in the year 570 A.D. in Mecca by the name of Mohammud. Civilization may very well end because of it.

“Unsurprisingly, great tracts of land were rendered uninhabitable and populations were wiped out...”
Shouldn’t that read “HUGE ... Tracts of land”?
