Regarding the end of the world, one of the descriptions given of what it looked like on the ground was provided by St. Gildas and that is often interpreted by the English historians to be a story of Ancient Saxons invading and burning out Britons. it reads much more like a large boloid cruising through NW Europe setting fire to everything ~ that happens circa 535AD.

Check this out:

On King Arthur and Khumric British History

The side link PDF: "23 Major Facts"

In particular, "#20 - The Discovery of America AD 562"

How the heck could bolide swarms burn ancient Britain "from sea to sea" without it being acknowledged by history?!

How? It's part of the Arthurian stories ~ why do you think everything was burned up?

You do realize that as the Saxons fled whatever had happened further North and West, the Britons relocated to Brittany which needed to have every plant replanted (Merlin is credited with doing the vinyards, both here and at the headwaters of the Rhone Valley), and animals had to be brought in.

Here's the problem with history in NW Europe after the big event that destroyed civilization, there wasn't much civilization left and there was substantial depopulation of the region.

So, the loss of NW European civilization is KNOWN ~ it happened ~

St. Gildas describes building materials flying into the air! That's something more than a bunch of cowboys setting fire to the barn!

A lot of that particular body of material is made up of a hodge podge of this and that and seeks to turn everybody into a member of a lost tribe.

Today we know that the ancestors of just about everybody in the British Isles lived in the Western European refugia (Southern France and Northern Spain) in the ice age ~ and they just walked there as the ice moved out.

The particular celtic languages were brought about 700 BC from the Celtic evacuation of the Danube ~ so there is a minor volkswandering ~ but it wasn't a lot of people, just a leadership elite. They were technologically more advanced than the natives so they took over the place!~ still same ethnic group though.
