Come on man.(Scientists?)
Who are you trying to fool?
It was not a “Comet Airburst.”
IT WAS THE INVENTION OF THE PLOW!
LOOK IT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is it possible that the Carolina Bays impacts were a Western Hemisphere effect of a comet hitting the Laurentide ice sheet?
All of the comet impacts across the world around 12,800 BC make me suspect that a big comet broke up and slammed into the Earth over just a few weeks or months.
The stories and the effects are from all over the world.
You’d definitely enjoy the book linked up there.
If you spend any time on FR, there’s no way that’s the stupidest thing you’ve ever heard. :^)
“IT WAS THE INVENTION OF THE PLOW!
LOOK IT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
No. It was beer. Look it up.
This chronology of the Younger Dryas puts me in mind of the finds in southwest Egypt of Nabta Playa, a wet region (now dry sandy desert) about 9500 BCE. It was a well populated area and quite active in livestock, especially cattle.
I don't have access to my archives right now, but I remember that not only were large herds sequestered there, they were trading with other regions such as Asia Minor and Mesopotamia, far distances away.
Of course, being a pre-historic site, some of the chronology is in question as well assumed cultural civilization and commerce. Some support for the above narrative might be found in such contemporary sites as the monumental structure at Göbekli Tepe and nearby village architecture of Nevalı Çori, architecture revealing more settled habitation and a somewhat agrarian life style.
The ideas from my childhood years of an agrarian culture and urban civilization exploding mysteriously out of the sandy deserts of Egypt and Mesopotamia approximately 3500 BCE - with no precursor culture to nurture it, are facing more reasonable ideas with more contemporary discoveries filing in the blanks of late Neolithic cultures and life styles. Still a challenging area of study and exploration for aspiring scholars of the future (if we don't sink back into another post-Roman 'Dark Age' of ignorance and regression.)
The study's based on field data, and looks valid. That said, I do agree that the idea of a linear progression of development starting at a relatively recent time in perhaps a single place it outmoded. Settegast cited an uncalibrated RC date of 14K years BP for a specimen of multirow barley. It was dug up in the northern Levant if memory serves, so, ballpark of those prehistoric sites you mention. Corn domestication and cultivation goes back to at least 5000 BC in central Mexico. Agriculture probably came and went many times in many places.

as are is Nebraska Rainwater basin which covers 4,200 sq miles
Studies have show that the angle of the debris that created these depression angles to a spot in Canada which would have been covered with 2 miles of ice at the time.
The debris likely consisted of huge chunks of ice tossed into the stratosphere and when hitting the ground, sent slivers streaking out from the point of impact killing everything in their paths.
There are various scientific studies about these events on line, should you care to look.
Not credited in this article is the theory that the comet debris [ believed to be the 100 mile wide periodic comet Encke ] impacts lasted over 100 years, and then again a 1,000 years later, bringing about the end of the Younger Dryas.
Also the black mat was created by the burning off of over 4% of the Earth’s vegetation at the time, during continent wide firestorms particularly in North America.
Thank you!
Very familiar with the Carolina Bays and Nebraska Rainwater Basins, thanks to SunkenCiv and others.
I will search out comet Encke, and see what I can learn.
So many events around the world could be explained by a comet breakup impacting around the Younger Dryas timeframe.
Graham Hancock’s “America Before” give a good account of this horrible period.
A certain geologist has a theory that it was caused by a gigantic solar flare, but he does not account for the minerals found, like iridium.

I feel certain that the huge monument of Göbekli Tepe {@ 9500 BCE} was not built by hunter-gatherers over many centuries. Such a complex project based on specific myths, religious rituals, cooperative civilization(s) - supposedly without any writing - raises an ocean of questions that should be answered.
It is more logical to believe that there were shared divisions of necessary skills (religious authority, survey, design, stone gathering, stone carving, excavation {and subsequent burying}, food and water supplied ... supplied by specialists - on and on.)
Who conceptualized the pattern(s) and supervised their proper execution; who organized the whole extensive effort and supervised its successful fruition...?
Like the Clovis Barrier and its disciplines, Göbekli Tepe is ripe for evolving ideas of clarifying solutions. 🤷♂️
I wholeheartedly agree.
A bump for Sodom and Gamora.

HAPPY NEW YEAR.

How delightful a greeting! Thank you and Happy New Year back at you and yours 5.56! ❗👌😎
Do the authors suggest that flooding of the Mediterranean Sea in that period was the origen of the Noah flood stories?
