Ancient stone carvings confirm that a comet struck the Earth around 11,000BC, a devastating event which wiped out wooly mammoths and sparked the rise of civilisations.
Experts at the University of Edinburgh analysed mysterious symbols carved onto stone pillars at Gobekli Tepe in southern Turkey, to find out if they could be linked to constellations.
The markings suggest that a swarm of comet fragments hit Earth at the exact same time that a mini-ice age struck, changing the entire course of human history.

Actually it is provable. Look at the star positions, look at the geological evidence, the biological evidence and so on. Unless you are a creationist then this is a good case to explain otherwise inexplicable events in the past.
By the way, the article credits Graham Hancock as the originator of the idea base on his interviews with the original chief archeologist about the meanings of the cravings.
If you have not read Hancock’s book - “Magicians of the Gods” - then the theory goes on to state that the comet was one of two, the other previous one initiated the Ice Age about 6,000 years prior.
Both comets were on the order of one mile in diameter and part of a larger body which had been broken up millions or billions of years previously. This body forms a torus through which the Earth passes each year producing the Taurids meteor showers.
The theory further goes on to say that the stone is not just a record of what happened then, but a warning of what WILL happen again at some point between now and 2060. In other words, large body strikes on the Earth are, geologically speaking a common event, we just happen to live between events.
That the site was intentionally buried has been a mystery; however, if the builders wanted to preserve their record and warning, then burring it to protect it makes sense.
Who were the builders? Survivors of a previous and largely unknown but advanced civilization - possibly the builders of all megalithic structures - none of which we could make today.
The reference to the Noah story is because, in the day, the people were arrogant, and did not believe that a catastrophe was coming, as catastrophe always comes.
However when engineers studied animal carvings made on a pillar – known as the vulture stone – at Gobekli Tepe they discovered that the creatures were actually astronomical symbols which represented constellations and the comet.
In the title, Comet struck Earth in 10,950BC...This is totally wrong....
I have irrefutable evidence in MY cave that the comet struck in 10,947BC....
(Send me money and I’ll send proof)
It was ‘Wooly Mammoth Privilege’ to be precise.
Ok, so you’re talking about the sin before the flood.
My point is that agriculture was not an art that took centuries for man to learn.
Lol!
“Swing and a miss! He struck her out, game over” :-)
The hypothesis would have a lot more credibility if a) it were published in Nature or Review of Physical Letters, not The Telegraph and b) if it were the work of an astronomer, not someone whose research field is statistical mechanics. This hypothesis is badly in need of corroboration and more data.
I guess I got carried away.
When you had that much meat running around free for the taking, life was easy. After those where wiped out we had to invent supermarkets which kept us busy developing for a long time.

Did Abel and Cain have any sisters?
Very interesting article but it didn’t explain exactly “how” the impact of the comet wiped out the Wholly Mammoths!
Paging Mr. Velikovsky, please pick up the white courtesy phone.
Theory...theory...theory. Hmmmm. Far out!
I’m sure that people all over the world have always been involved with agriculture, to a certain extent.
Our moderns seem to think that people of yesteryear were stupid, when, in fact, it is they who are arrogant.
This book has Roger Williams talking about the Indians using comet pieces in their gambling games. Williams went to the Indians for refuge from the Church Of England, and lived with them until after Parlament won the English Civil War. https://www.amazon.com/Key-Into-Language-America/dp/1616403047/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1492782854&sr=1-1&keywords=a+key+into+the+language+of+america
if a comet hit the earth 13,000 years ago, that increases the Risk calculation of another strike by about 1,000.
The Global warming scare’s risk would be tiny in comparison.
If they can prove a 13K Year old comet strike beyond a shadow of a doubt, the “Climate scientists... errr, computer modelers” will take the “OMG! we’re all going to die without funding” freakouts to never before seen levels.
Yes. Genesis 5:4.
I thought they died because the evil cavemen drove too many SUVs.
