I’d heard that the Barringer [sp?] crater in Arizona has a similar Hopi Indian legend surrounding it, that a god came down there on a pillar of fire. Very interesting in as much as the commonly accepted dates for humans in N. America is about 25,000 years to late for that to have been observed. Either there WERE people there to observe it, or the Hopi were a lot more intuitive in noodling out what it was from observation several thousand years ago while we were still debating it being a “crypto volcanic structure” into, I believe, the 60’s...
Makes one question the dating, doesn’t it?
or the techniques used to date the events are flawed...
