Scientist: Comets Blasted Early Americans

Also, the most recent date of global disruption(Pleistocene - Holocene) was not lost on George Howard who has been studying the Carolina Bays' formation for 20+ years: Is this event connected with the Carolina Bays?

IOW, the culprit that formed to Carolina Bays may have also been the Pleistocene/Holocene event.

One interesting side note(that may or may not be relevent): The Great Lakes area is roughly the extrapolated source(the point of origin) of the axes of the Carolina Bays.

Wow...could somebody have been playing around with antimatter way back then??? An early civilization wiping itself out?

Pre-Adamic civilization did destroy themselves...most likely nuclear...

[Publius6961]

The enormous energy released by the catastrophe at 12,500 yr B.P. could have heated the atmosphere to over 1000°C over Michigan, and the neutron flux at more northern locations would have melted considerable glacial ice.

Is it just a coincidence that the date is eerily close to the estimated date of the Lake Agassiz great flood?
