Rod, check this out. Have you ever heard of a book called Did Genesis Man Conquer Space? This person must have read it too.

ping!

This was written pretty much in the pre "asteroid impact wiped out the dinosaurs" era, wasn't it? Velikovsky didn't publish his Worlds in Collision until 1950. After that there was a backlash against the idea of worldwide catastrophe. It appears that such folks as Baille have come up with a better explanation of these physical and legendary data.

I've heard of it, but I hadn't read it.

[Cool Guy]

BUMP!

All explained by comet/meteor impacts and Tunguska type events of various sizes.

See Mike Baille's From Exodus to Arthur to see just how many times fire-breathing dragons were used to describe phenomena consistent with meteoric/cometary impacts or close calls.

What the article doesn't mention are the radioactive (yes radioactive) skeletons that have been found at Pakistan and Scottish archaeological sites.

A noted scientist analysed the glass and found it to be melted Coca Cola bottles, circa 1956, hence the green color.

Thank you for that information, Diogenes.

A fine book on this very subject is "Fire On Earth" by John & Mary Gribbin. They maintain that asteroid and comet collisions have played major roles in shaping human history. I highly recommend it if you're interested in the subject.

These collisions are rather more frequent than most people believe but luckily most are small or at sea. Our planet is mostly water and the majority of objects striking the surface wouldn't be noticed at sea. It is only when a big one hits solid ground or in shallow waters that our attention is drawn.
