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.

“”Wooly mammoths were holding back the advance of human civilization?””
Yes, they were just jealous.
That’s a whole lot of inbreeding going on there. Must have had some great banjo players in the family.
Looking for Eden? Move to Ventura, California.
(Just ignore the freeways)
Inbreeding clearly was not a problem then, given they lived 600 to 900 years.
Looks more like a bird taking a “granny shot” at a bent basketball hoop from the foul line. Apparently they didn’t call technical fouls for hanging off the basket in those days.
Hancock does a great job in his book. He explains well, what we already know. And, there may have been more than one, but the main event was clearly about 12,800 years ago, as the study of the ice sheet dating shows.
Here is a NASA photo of the “comet pieces” on Mars. It is most probably debris from a supernova explosion that passed through our solar system. Some of this debris would have been captured by our sun’s gravity to become a long period comet, or, perhaps we were hit, along with other planets of our solar system by the initial debris wave. But yes, we do cross that comet’s path.

Out of Curiosity (heh), where did you get the info that these are pieces of a comet, as the photo captions only call it “Rocknest”, and could be the result of many causes?
Not cause and effect, but concurrent situations. Jury is still out on this theory, but it's as plausible as many others.

Well hey, you got your death guarantee when you were born, so God needs your service for the present.
Worlds in Collision, 1950, by Immanuel Velikovsky poses a similar theory and lays out the evidence available at the time of writing. It has not been disproven, yet.
Except in Immanuel Velikovsky’s case the comet was the planet Venus which fits with his ideas about the physical nature of the planet and which proved true. While there is a similarity it ends there.
The only thing which I.V. did not explain is what the Moon was doing during the ‘collision,’ since that poses the insolvable classic Three Body Problem.
Well yes, but is is a perfect match for the “Thunder-smitten Thunderbolt” as described in Roger Williams book “A Key Into the Language of America” which was published in London in 1643.
Also, people with metal detectors collect it out in the areas around Cape Cod.But your right, the only absolute way would be to get a sample and analyse it.
Anyhow, it is not chondrite http://search.aol.com/aol/image?q=chondrite&s_it=img-ans&imgId=B43F0C0D5C3959A863AB42175D5A29F8FEC0DFFF&v_t=TB20
Perhaps all of this is related to the Carolina Event ... a series of large craters that stretches south to north - larger to smaller.
The postulated Younger Dryas strike hit on the glacier somewhere in Canada. There would be little debris as the 2 mile thick glacier cap would have absorbed most of the material before beginning to melt.
#24 You must have been using the Cro-Magnon calendar. It was known to be off by 3 years.
“I have irrefutable evidence in MY cave that the comet struck in 10,947BC....”
#32 The top portion shows car doors and the symbols below are the car brands.
Ah. And here I thought it portrayed a line of cars stuck in traffic on a freeway overpass
We do have that capability....Have you not seen the documentary, “Armageddon”????
