Apparently the U.S. was a favorite target for hits delivered from outer space.

My theory: comet impact 12,800 YA.

Then MicroNova of sun, 1500 years later to melt.

Big rock

bigger rock that breaks up
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/09/100914143626.htm

fragments (think Shoemaker-levy) hit multiple locations, start massive fires...everything dies over a certain size. “Proof” is in the diamonds found in the Greenland ice that dates to that period.

Africa was no exception, as the Young Dryas period (12,800 to 11,500 years ago) was when several species, including giant buffalos, zebras, and wildebeest, went extinct.

...

Zebras are extinct?

This is more reaching trying to prove the Sun doesn't effect the climate (as ridiculous as that sounds)

The Bray (Hallstatt) is the strongest of all the solar cycles with a cycle of 2400 ±200 years. The next cycle is due around 2180 AD. The timing of this cycle has fallen on ever major glaciation in history including the Younger Dryas.

These global alarmist has done everything they can to distract from real science.

“...the Younger Days Impact Hypothesis is a highly controversial idea, given the lack of evidence.”

take away

1. Hypothesis
2. highly controversial idea
3. lack of evidence

Okay, “What If” is a fun game, but let’s not take it too seriesly.

Orpheus, the imaginary planet/asteroid. It doesn’t exist. It never existed. The moon was not formed because of a collision. It’s all SPECULATION and “What If”.

Some interesting reading:

Earth in Upheaval

Worlds in Collision

When the Sky Fell (planet tilted)

In order to make Darwin's Evolution work, the scientists threw out the old theory of Catastrophism (Katy bar the door) and adopted Uniformitarianism (all is calm for four billion years).

"...an associated impact crater hasn’t been linked to the supposed event."

May I nominate Hiawatha Crater in Greenland?

"The vast hole discovered beneath the ice of the the Hiawatha Glacier in northern Greenland is believed to be among the 25 largest impact craters on Earth, according to a study published in the journal Science Advances.

Initially discovered in 2015, an international team of researchers has been working on verifying the findings since then, with much more still to do.

Professor Kurt H Kjaer of the Centre for GeoGenetics at the Natural History Museum of Denmark said that the crater was not dated but "its condition strongly suggests that it formed after ice began to cover Greenland, so younger than 3 million years old and possibly as recently as 12,000 years ago — toward the end of the last Ice Age."
