Would that be related to what I linked in #20?

Might be interesting to see if this also occurred around 12,900 years ago as well, and was what helped that giant glacier over North America melt in epic and quick fashion.

A comet strike bombardment ( many hits from rocks one mile in diameter from the Taurids) which lasted over 100 years with the most intense part lasting 10 years - North America was engulfed in a firestorm until the end when an mile diameter rock struck at an oblique angle creating the Carolina Bays and similar features in Nebraska - the impact sent ice from the glacier up thousands of feet and when they came down, shattered, cutting to ribbons anything for miles around, but also put out most of the remaining fires.

North America and almost all living things, including the Clovis Culture People, were incinerated, then sliced and diced.

North America melt in epic and quick fashion.


Actually, the ice was already melting - the firestorms cooled the atmosphere bringing on the Younger Dryas - the coldest period on record and the Ice Cap began to grow again - there is also the possibility that one of the strikes cracked off a huge part of the Ice Cap which slid into the ocean blocking the Gulf current for centuries.

Was another series of massive solar flares in 774 - 775 which were recorded by chroniclers

Associated with spike in Carbon 14 levels

The title of the article is overstated — these written records have little to do with helping us predict CME’s or Solar Flares in the modern era. But the correlation between the physical evidence and the observational evidence is very cool.

It is possible that what was considered “an omen” might also be “ conclusions based on the observable data”.

For example, before a Tsunami, the sea retreats far far from shore. That might be, ore scientific times, considered “an omen”.

Homeric Minimum?

Wrong time period but Ezekiel 1:4–28 type event would fit:

“I looked, and I saw a windstorm coming out of the north—an immense cloud with flashing lightning and surrounded by brilliant light. The center of the fire looked like glowing metal, 5 and in the fire was what looked like four living creatures. “

The Sumerian civilization dwindled approximately 3500 years ago, replaced by peoples from the North and East; a replacement that was often the result of war. There are several lament texts that have been found, each mourning the destruction of a different Sumerian city. These texts are all from the same time period, causing one to wonder if the laments are simply reflections of humans at war, or truly those of wars of the Gods themselves - quarreling over their own ideologies.

Well, maybe, but it’s not unlikely that, five years from now, I’ll find that PDF, still unread, in the GGG folder, and go, “oh, I don’t even remember this, how fascinating!” :^) I have, uh, odd organizational techniques.
