The Lake Mungo event was about 12,000 years before Gothenburg, and the Mono Lake event was about 12,000 years before that.
Do you happen to know if the Taurids are on a 12,000 orbit?

We pass thru them every year, but which part? There is supposed to be a widely scattered area of small debris and a dense part from the original 100 mile diameter comet.
We pass through the scattered area and it makes a nice light show in the sky on clear nights. But the dense part with rocks 1 or more miles in diameter is speculation; all of it might have been sucked up in 10800.
But no one knows what the dense part orbital timing is, even if it still exists. Or the comet Eneke may have been even larger than proposed. There is only a small part remaining 4.8 miles diameter, comes around every 3.2 - 3.3 years, may have been responsible for the Tunguska event of 1908, calcium spikes indicate debris field but a 2019 effort to find some found none (black body perhaps). Next perihelion is 2022, next closest Earth approach is 2046
