a bird-like deity

You mean vultures? The iconography turns up all over the region. That and human skulls are starting to show up. I’m guessing some ritual sacrifices were the order of the day.

It’s difficult for me to imagine a pre-pottery civilization.
Or any other society before we could hoist one.

The comet strike itself is reasonably doubted. Many attribute the cold period to Volcanoes.

The summer solstice, meanwhile, is depicted as a bird-like deity – possibly representing the constellation Virgo, where the sun would have been located at this time of year

But Virgo would have been around the spring solstice back then because of precession.

Perhaps even more astonishingly, the ancient engravings seem to illustrate the changing positions of constellations in the sky, indicating an appreciation of the concept of precession 10,000 years before it was first documented by the Ancient Greek astronomer Hipparchus.

Yet the study’s most striking find relates to a separate pillar, which appears to illustrate the Taurid meteor stream moving through the constellations Aquarius and Pisces over a period of several weeks.

No. The Taurid meteor shower is called that because when the orbit of the meteoroids (mostly dust) intersects with Earth's orbit they appear to be coming from Taurus. The direction of Earth's axis does not change that. It would just change the season they arrive in and how high in the sky Taurus is. Also, differences between then and now would not show an appreciation of the concept of precession. It would just show what the observation was at the time. The knowledge of precession required hundreds of years of observation.

It looks like the author doesn't understand precession. Hopefully the original researchers did and it just got lost in the writing.

You can’t take a word these people write seriously. Because they apparently don’t believe in thermodynamics.

A comet in that period was supposed to have “melted” the northern icecap/glacier dam in Canada. This led to worldwide flooding, about a 40 m rise all over the place. This wiped out most of civilization, like the Doggerland.

What rose up immediately afterward were the refugees from all of the world’s coastlines — which would look like an increase in civilized centers.

The night sky must have been incredible to see, all of those 13,000 years ago.
