The event destroyed a village found in the Abu Hureyra dig site in Syria...
The impact is also believed to have contributed to the extinction of many large animals, including mammoths as well as North American horses and camels.
Experts believe the explosion helped bring about the demise of the North American Clovis culture and usher in an episode of climatic cooling.
The Abu Hureyra site is located on the edge of a vast region known as the Younger Dryas Boundary (YDB) strewnfield, which incorporates around 30 sites across Europe, the Americas and parts of the Middle East.
The strewnfield is characterised by signs of massive-scale burning — including a 'black mat' layer that is rich in carbon and platinum and and contains millions of tiny nanodiamonds and tiny metal spheres that must have formed in great heat.
Experts had long wondered if this layer of devastation may have been caused by a catastrophic impact event — a hypothesis supported by the discovery of a contemporaneous impact crater under the Hiawatha Glacier in Greenland.
In their study, Professor Kennett and colleagues analysed the glass found at Abu Hureyra to determine its composition, structure and likely formation temperature — concluding that it formed at temperatures in excess of 3,992°F (2,200°C).
Such intense heats could not be explained by contemporary human technology — or even lightning or a volcanic eruption.
This conclusion is supported by the presence in the meltglass of minerals rich in chromium, iron, nickel, sulphides, titanium and even platinum and iridium-rich iron.
The team found that the meltglass recovered from the Abu Hureyra site contained both material from the comet, but also vaporised soil, sediments and organic matter from the settlement that cooled nearly instantaneously to form glass.

Keep it up and I’ll start going on about The Sea People again!
Dare me.
Good reading there.
Of course there is an unmentioned competing theory on explaining what caused the entire Younger Dryas Boundary (YDB) strewnfield. The idea is evident in this quotation and you can see a detailed explanation at the link below.
Similar to this area:
““Lightning in this region had to be imposing. A plasma intensifies in a shear zone, meaning it generates ion content due to the shearing and extreme temperature and pressure differentials. Shearing supersonic winds bounce shock waves between them, generating the highest current density in jet-streams that extended for thousands of miles. Lightning discharged from these plasma streams focused on the piling mountains below with the capacity of a thousand-mile-long thunderstorm being continually fed new energy.”

Great! That’s just what we need now to get rid of covid- 19.
To be clear to some, NO cars were melted 12,800 years ago. Melting cars was an example of how hot it was. Regarding Carolina Bays, Firestone’s book shows how the long axis of a typical Bay aims toward Great Lakes. Also he proposes that Lake Michigan was hit by two large objects. I think a third smaller one hit between these two. See a map. The article proposes a number of air bursts, but I think there were those and ground hits. Possibly Greenland and perhaps in the Atlantic Ocean or Arctic and not yet discovered. Remember 19 hits on Jupiter a few years ago. Sodom and Gomorrah were probably much later. Either the object that hit the Iraq Marshes 2,000 BC or a smaller local hit or air burst.
Come on now...who believes that cars even existed 12,800 years ago? Obviously “fake news!” Just report that a very hot comet messed up the Syrian landscape.
Aren't you the party pooper? Sheesh. We were on a roll. I'll be you're loads of fun on the COVID-19 threads, too.
Is this about The Sixth Sense again? ;^) :^P
Thanks!
The big list, and a shorter list of more recent stuff, some overlap with the list in #22.

Yes - and due to some of the intermingling elements, they had a golden hue so the story became that the streets were paved with gold...
Same with Randall Carlson...learned about both of those guys from several Rogan podcasts.
It was a micronova. The next one is scheduled for 2042. See Doug Vogt at Diehold Foundation.
Thank you for that link. You are right. It will keep me busy for the rest of 2020.
This is about history, so it is about the Sixth Since.
Ok!
I could be fun on Covid-19, but at age 81, I am rather more serious. Note, 29 already dead in west coast nursing home(s), and Italy seems to have almost a 5% death rate.
I’m 12 years younger than you. Hope you do well through all this.
