Yes. It’s priced at $10.17 at Amazon & the reviews look decent.

“Ignore dendrochronology. They have a continuous calendar going back that far. When they finally pull up a post from a building down in the oxygen-free depths of the Black Sea they will be able to date it to the year the tree was cut.”

I did a quick check, and I see that you are correct. I did not think that the time line had extended that far back yet, but I see that in Europe, it has been extended back to over 12,000 years. Do you know if it has been applied to the Agassiz event?

Well, Doh!

With all the animals (but two per species dead) they had to figure out some way to eat...and drink.

Thank god someone left some grain in a pot outside in the rain.

Noah’s Ark is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the seedcake in the rain
I don’t think that I can take it
‘Cause it took so long to bake it
And I’ll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!

Can’t say. The melting of the N America glacial cap happened in stages over about 4000 years, each stage raising the world ocean level 100-200 feet suddenly due to collapse of ice dams. These events were roughly 9000, 11000, and 13000 years ago. The story in this article doesn’t fit this sequence well if at all.

...they will be able to date it to the year the tree was cut.

Only if there is bark on the tree.

"These events were roughly 9000, 11000, and 13000 years ago. The story in this article doesn’t fit this sequence well if at all."

I think your 9,000 year date is too long ago. It should be closer to 8,000...even 7-8,000 years ago perhaps.

I never actually look up anything. :)

Carry on.

Thanks.

THere were probably several times when the sea level increased permanently by feet or meters. If indeed a boloid event caused major disruption and tsunamis 13,000 years ago, this would have become part of oral history for many generations. Although the Agassiz even would only have raised the worlds oceans by a foot and one half; first, since the water flooded into the North Atlantic and the Caribbean very suddenly, it may have caused tsunami type conditions striking Europe and North Africa. The initial increase in water level would have been on the order of one or two meters before the levels settled down world-wide, not to mention possible much higher tidal surges (tsunamis).

With an oral history of other significant rises, coastal and marshland peoples might have considered it prudent to move the settlements inland permanently.

I think the Incas probably took to the mountains because of tsunamis.
