IIRC, that coincides with Graham Hancock’s timeline when he suspects a major catastrophe hit Earth, and was chronicled, as it were, in separate civilizations around the globe.
It does and there were a couple of theories about causes. One was this one, a solar event. The other is an asteroid or comet impact event.
The Younger Dryas. I was thinking the exact same thing.
This time frame sounds close to the possible major boloid even in Northern Hemisphere of Americas and probably Europe/Siberia writing up by Firestone etc al. Where these two different events? If so, did they occur at about the same time? If they did occur around the same time, they would have been a double shock to many systems. I think we should stop blaming people for the extinction of most of the large mammals in North America. Clovis culture disappeared about that time, and finally people should get serious about finding what in the way of humanity was here before those events.
The recent discovery of sapiens in a cave’s depths on Asia shows what can happen when people change their time perspective. These sapiens were there at least 20,000 years earlier than had previously been discovered. What will we find digging deep here. What human remains might exit from the last warm periods over 100,000 years ago? Digging deep in caves seems to be the way to find the really old remains.
14k years ago there were no civilizations on earth.
