      Smaller mammals and other vertebrates were not affected by this hypothetical extinction event. Why? Why is this not even mentioned?
      Some extant megafaunal species such as bison and Brown bear seem to have been little affected by the extinction event, while the environmental devastation caused by a bolide impact would not be expected to discriminate.

      There was a mega continent. And the reason they seem to match is that’s where it split down the middle. The Atlantic seabed is where it blew out. I mean Empire State Building size chunks. That’s where the asteroid belt came from. It’s an anomaly in space. They aren’t everywhere. Not in a sphere but a disc. As the earth turned and this stuff blows out it’s also traveling through space. And we keep running back through the debris. That’s where the water came from, subterranean. And the rocks-asteroids and the comets. That’s why when they test comets it’s the same stuff as in earth. Cuz that’s where it came from.

      best matches the mythology, geology and historical climate data.
      A pattern of cyclical catastrophic, climate events, . Cosmic impact, is not a cyclical event.
      All the impact glass, nano diamonds, and vitrification, are also explained with such an event. As well, as the rapid melting of ice sheets..

      Solar outburst, seems to be the Catalyst and accompanied by a weakening of the Magnetosphere. Allowing Incoming radiation, essentially heating, the Earths Core. Magma rises, climate chaos, and earthquakes, the result.

An impactor, or impactors, could have had massive effects on the planet without leaving a lot of physical evidence or minimal evidence such as a crater in Greenland that appears too small.

    @ 25:57 In truth there are no "other directions". The amount of energy needed to melt the humongous amount of ice (note that the two YD meltwater surges raised the world's oceans a total of 400 feet) had to have come from an extraterrestrial source. The onset of the Younger Dryas heating events were simply too sudden for more geologic processes to be responsible.
    We also have to remember that the YD events were traumatic in other ways besides mere climate change. Large numbers of megafauna species died off, and many of the siblings of these same species are quite well-adapted to our own relatively warm climate. The conclusion has to be that it wasn't the climactic changes themselves that killed off all these species, it was other, as yet unidentified trauma also associated with the YD events that killed off the megafauna and the Clovis culture. Large scale fires and floods are two among many such possibilities.
    It is quite likely that the extraterrestrial body that impacted the earth broke up before entering the earth's atmosphere, much like Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 did in 1992 before it impacted Jupiter in 1994. Much of it must have either exploded over the Arctic ice cap and released large amounts of heat generated by friction with our atmosphere (like the Tunguska 1908 object) or impacted the ice cap in various locations, including the impact craters we can see on Greenland and possibly British Columbia.
    Claiming that an event is very low probability is not the same as claiming that it is impossible. Strange, low-probability events do happen. People do win the lottery. They also get struck by lightening. Both are very low probability events. It's also possible that we simply don't know how probable such an impact event might be because our astronomers aren't able to see most such objects. One thing's for certain, our near neighbor the moon is covered with many impact craters, so we do know that impact events do occur with some frequency in our region of space.

      If incoming asteroids carry a large electrical charge differential from that of Earth, then there will be a massive electrical discharge shattering the asteroid as it nears impact. This phenomenon may indicate that the lack of craters does not necessarily indicate a localized destructive event. The Dragonstorm Project - sites.google.com/site/dragonstormproject/Home hypothesizes a fragmented asteroid hosing a stream of high temperature electrical plasma discharge from central Mexico to the Great Lakes, like a welding arc melting the tops off mountains and leaving large splatter patterns in the landforms of the Great Lakes region.

      All one needs do is calculate the amount of energy it would take to melt 18*106 km³ of ice and understand that the answer is only for the Laurentide ice sheet. Four of the five northern ice sheets melted within a few hundred years at most. Our sun cannot put that amount of energy onto the surface, even with a coronal mass ejection.
      Yet the Greenland ice sheet didn't melt along with the other four? Given the trajectory shown by the Carolina Bays riddling the east coast of the U.S.A. and the basins on the North Slope, these bodies came in at a relatively shallow angle. That means they would have traveled in an easterly direction through the atmosphere for a short time prior to impact. In the Tunguska event, it was shown that ground temperatures directly under the trajectory of that body reached ten thousand degrees celcius. That would have melted almost all of the Cascadia sheet and most of the Laurentide, as well as pooling the water quickly enough to create the Yakima floods. There were more than likely a few chunks that landed above Europe and Asia on that side of the Northern Hemisphere. Google Earth zoomed out over North America will immediately show not only large circular bays along the northern shores, but monsterous water flow lines all along the southern ice limit. Both sheets melted almost immediately and flooded the entire continent, washing anything on the surface right out to sea. Probably why we dont' find the bones of the billions of megafauna that died. Though they do dredge them off the North Sea floor.

And whether it was that something punctured a hole in the atmosphere somehow leading leading to the coldness of space rushing in. Certainly have not heard any explanations as to what may have caused its death and preservation so quickly. They found another Mammoth, with its body in one position and its feet in another, looking like it was completely blown off its feet, by a shockwave?

    There is evidence of massive flash flooding in the state of Washington. I have a crappy memory so I can not tell you the name of the Geology Professor nor the college he teaches at. But he has been trying to get the point across for years. The state has a lot of volcanic activity. Massive ancient lava beds. In one region there layers of sediment have been cut through down to the ancient lava beds. On each side the edges are sharp and very steep. If you find his UA-cam site he always uses a chalkboard and he is quite tall. Thinning hair. Because of Covid he did start using a marker board and videoing from his backyard.
    As far as the impact hypothesis. After scientists watched a broken up comet hit Uranus (I think that was the planet) in a line of multiple impacts some proponents of that hypothesis started thinking multiple impacts to the ice sheets in the Northern Hemisphere could melt a lot of it but not necessarily all penetrate them deep enough to leave a crater. Hiawatha crater may be only part of the impact event or a separate impact event.
    They have been trying to figure out what caused the sudden spike in temperature just before the Younger Dryas for a long time. One of the things they use against an impact event has always been the lack of a crater big enough. Again, if it was multiple impacts across a large area and into ice sheets about 2 miles thick the smaller bits might not leave any craters. Parts may have hit in the Northern Pacific and Atalanta as well. But nix the multiple impact hypothesis and what are they left with? A huge solar flare, changed in the planets tilt for whatever reason, and/or massive volcanic activity. We can’t, as far as I have heard, chart ancient solar flare activity. The Earth’s axis does change but that has not been known to cause heat intense enough to leave behind ash in such a thick layer. I have not heard that they have found, yet, volcanic activity from the time period that could have caused the ice melt they know happened before the refreeze. Because of ocean levels since only fairly recently have they realized people likely walked into Australia and Britain and that there didn’t use to be much water where the Mediterranean is. They did not know there was a Super Volcano under Yellowstone National Park and it had left a trail as the Continent drifted ever so slowly across the hot spot. Nor that a Super Volcano had blown in Arizona. Or the crater in the Gulf next to the Yucatán Peninsula that was likely made by a really big impact that caused a global bear extinction event and wiped out the dinosaurs. It is good to critique theories. But to say not possible until actual proof of what caused the sudden massive melt that raised ocean levels by 250-500 feet (likely the reason for the ancient flood stories around the globe), left that significant dark layer, and the extinction of many land animals and plants around the globe, I think is wrong.

    unfortunately, the class has ignored publicly-available evidence of solar-caused massive cooling of the earth at that time. The evidence is from analysis of lunar rocks brought back to earth during the Apollo missions to the moon 50 years ago. These rocks were tested and found to contain glasses containing internal x ray tracks created by solar super flares or even a micro nova from that same era. And the sun, as we know, is much more capable of such powerful events, that could have caused large scale radiative dimming of the earths surface.

    Ground Zero - Hudson Bay. Dec 17 2020.
    Is the Hudson's Bay the impact/blast crater that started the deluge which began 12,000 years ago?
    What are the pieces I've put together?
    Lots of pieces, iron fragments of an asteroid have been found, the last chunk which was found at the 12,000 mark and had been tested to 12,000 years BCE. Over the past hundred years people thought they were iron meteorites, or asteroids. Well, there is a problem with that, there are no craters to verify that fact, and if an asteroid hit the earth it would disintegrate. Most piece of space rocks are part of the meteorite after it explodes in the air.
    So why is there so many pieces of iron asteroid found? The asteroid breaking apart so close to the surface, would have lead to a number of possible bursts once fragments hit the ice.
    Strange damage to the ancient structures built before 12,000 BCE. Several of these structures have significant damage done at the tops of the buildings which are on the mountains; pre-Aztec, as one archeologist stated looks like a quasar or a magnetic pulse hit it all at the same time. It is true of the damage, these structures still can not be repeated by us to this day. We do not have that power to damage some of the structures noted in the presentations. Both in the middle east and in Peru. The damage to the structures in Peru is north to south, the structures in the middle east is west to east. Earthquake proof buildings.
    Russian asteroid, where 200 people were injured due to flying glass after the shock wave from the asteroid exploded, taking 90 seconds to reach the victims. A huge blast at some considerable distance. Why couldn't the damage be more rational like a blast from an asteroid, instead of some alien ray gun?
    We have to look at the Gulf of Mexico, confirmed impact which wiped out the dinosaurs, the crater is there, we know it, it is a fact.
    This time, when the asteroid went to make an impact, it hit the ice and exploded where the Hudson's Bay is today, sending fragments all over central US. The blast wave, rapid heat, fast rising oceans where cities are still covered under the ocean, and the deluge events. The ice was vaporized and saturated the atmosphere. It took 2000 years from ice age to something of what we have today. 10000 BCE., humans had to start all over again. Our Ancestors before that time lived for 1.2 million years.
    Theory of impact is in place and seems to be 4 crater bursts, Iron deposits? less gravity. Funding for the Younger Dryas Impact Theory was discontinued because the impact site could not be determined. All the enchanters, professors, Archeologists, Anthropologists, Geologists, and all the magicians of the world could not find the blast site in North America, When there has always been a blast field with 4 craters, which make up the Hudson's Bay.

    so if an impact happened in Greenland thru an icesheet. Besides the instant change to steam and blow up thru the atmosphere. the resulting shock wave would shatter the ice sheet that would rain down on the open land covering all that lived. The resulting down draft after the first blast up would bring extreme cold down in areas which could be the reason we find flash frozen mammoths buried.

  • @emack76
    @emack76 4 місяці тому

    You may want to include the fact that Clovis points have only been found BELOW the Black Mat layer.
    Also, and impact on the ice sheets would result in huge amounts of melting very quickly - also producing freshwater infusion into the northern oceans. Impacts on the ice sheet directly would mute any surface craters, leaving little evidence. Thus, glacial outburst flooding and the impact hypothesis aren't competing, they are complimentary. It is difficult to imagine the energy required for that level of melting in such a short timeframe without invoking one or more impactors on the ice sheets themselves. An extended rainout would exacerbate this effect.
    Furthermore, evidence of massive flooding can be found all the way from the channel scablands of WA to the finger lakes of NY. The Missouri and Mississippi rivers are evidence on their own. These are 'misfit rivers.' Meaning that the size of the river basin (bluff to bluff) is much too large to have been caused by today's typical flow rates, regardless of the time allowed for that flow to do so.
    These two theories need each other. Good work presenting both sides of the argument. Well done.

    That's a Supervolcano like the one that left Hiawatha.
    The release of magma stored chemical energy equivalent to about 1000 GIGATONS of TNT, in one or two seconds.
    A high volatiles magma chamber like a supercritical boiler over ten km in diameter exploding at supersonic speed.
    The Tonga example was just eight cubic km of magma. It got ejected as a 3000C vapour of liquid and gaseous ionised rock at Mach 5, and 10s of thousands of lighting strikes per second burned through the Five hundred km wide umbrella for an hour.
    What do you think 1000+ cubic km of magma created in the tight pressure injection of water Subglacial continental regime detonating would do by comparison?

    A very concise and objective analysis, thank you. There are many curiosities about this event in our recent history that are difficult to ascertain, short of the obvious fact that something catastrophic happened. Silt and Bone washed up against the mountain ranges of North and South America, megafauna completely wiped out of virtually all Western continents, leaving only Africa and parts of India least affected. Looking at what we know, comets tend to break up before impact, so a smaller crater somewhere does not necessarily mean anything if larger pieces slammed into the thick ice sheets, leaving no trace, flash melting trillions of gallons of fresh water and setting fire to everything else.
    The only humans that survive an event so tragic are tribal societies, currently living off the land and politicians. Personally I believe that a highly advanced global civilization existed before that time, very different from ourselves, yet possibly even more advanced than us. The original human foundation, passed down to us through legend and myth. Even our Christian myth of Lucifer, the morning star, "who's countenance outshined the Sun" is a very accurate description of what a massive ball of ice and rock would look like moments before impact.
    Indeed future humans looking back 12,000 years from now would be challenged to find much remaining besides plastic melted into that black mat layer. Everything would be scrubbed away by floods and fire and glaciers, volcanic turmoil and possibly war. Knowing their world was about to end very likely could have ended up with rival powers at each other's throats as legend has it. Punished by God for their selfishness.
    Few people really realize what an impact of that magnitude would touch off across the globe, not just biomass burning and flash melting of two mile high glaciers, but major geologic instability, i.e. earthquakes, and global volcanic activity. I mean the Fukushima earthquake alone shifted the Earth's axis by 6.5 inches. A blip on the magnitude of scale...
    My question is what is the possibility of the turning point caused by major solar activity, CMEs, possibly even micro nova, and magnetic reversal creating even more catastrophe than a large impact, since the evidence is so scarce I would like to know your thoughts on this?
    Thank you

    The Laurentide Ice Sheet was over a mile thick! Between multiple impacts on the Ice Sheet and atmospheric explosion from a break-up of the impacter, there wouldn't be terrestrial craters. The Carolina Bays illustrate this impact on the Ice Sheet. The heating, shockwaves, and flooding from melted ice as well as torrential rain from the vaporized ice would have been sufficient to affect weather patterns as well as directly and indirectly cause the mass extinction of the megafauna. Impacts in the Hudson Bay and Great Lakes areas would have been sufficient to cause this scenario. Greenland impact is too old as the ice covering it is older than Younger Drias. The impacts on North American Ice could have sent enough fresh water into the North Atlantic to disrupt ocean currents as well. IMO

    The large cooling of some substantial part of the northern hemisphere (-8 degrees mentioned here for Greenland) combined with the tiny cooling of only -0.16 degrees global average per the huge 24k year global multi-proxy analysis (a synthesis of a few dozen separate proxy analyses all around Earth that took scientists 7 years to do) could only have been caused by a sudden stop, or big reduction in how far north it goes, of the powerful Atlantic current because nothing else would have cooled a few percent region of Earth in the Atlantic region and not cooled anywhere else. Volcano or asteroid impact global dimming wouldn't do that. An asteroid impact might well have caused the current to stop or change. What happens is that less heat gets carried north (it's 6 petawatts right now) causing north to cool and the tropics, maybe south too, to warm but because most land is in the north, most ocean in the south, the land cools more because ocean mixes a bit of its huge thermal capacity, so overall there can be global cooling even without Earth getting heated less than before. However, what can happen if this switch of heat transfer warms the north less is that there can be more ice & snow because, as with the thing just mentioned, most land is in the north, most ocean in the south. Since ice & snow are reflective there could become genuine GLOBAL cooling due to more sunshine reflected.

    Zamora et al have proposed an impact on the southern edge of the Laurentide ice sheet, which caused a rain of ice chunks to fall up to about 1500 km away, causing the so-called Carolina Bays, with similar features in other areas such as the Gulf of Mexico and Nebraska, (en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carolina_bays) as well as a release of ice and melt water into the north, and a distribution of water in the stratosphere that would have caused global cooling for several years, and associated rains . Associated impacts in other areas such as Argentina at the same or nearby time would have caused global fires.
    OTOH, the presenter of Ancient Architects on UA-cam notes that the dip in temperature was not all that sudden, and matched several previous episodes.
    Related - the Scablands and Dry Falls region of Washington State does provide evidence of extremely large releases of water on numerous occasions, with flows hundreds of times greater than any known river, as a result of melt water lakes breaching dams in the edge of the ice sheet. These releases were hundreds of feet deep and miles wide. Just the backflows filled the Willamette Valley of Oregon over 400 feet deep, and the flows also caused "ripples" in sandbags in the Columbia River with periods of several hundred feet and depths up to 100 feet.

    If you are going to argue the pros and cons of The Younger Dryas Impact Event, don't do it with students who are not familiar with the exhaustive evidence that has been researched and submitted. Especially, don't make suppositions that are completely false about the the claims of the Comet Research Group. This is not an educational debate. It's a bunch of opinions based on limited knowledge.

  • @cliffcurtistruth

    A third hypothesis for the cause of the Younger Dryas event can be found with the Farsight Institute remote viewers who say humans accidently caused an explosion so large it devastated the entire world. Apparently a civilization existed even more advanced than our own but ended up having technology get the better of them. As a consequence to this catastrophe, their island continent sank and sent the oceans across the lands in a succession of mega tsunamis from every direction. There would've been drastic changes to ocean currents and probably worldwide storms until it all resettled. This "hypothesis" actually makes sense to the evidence seen and should be considered by academia . . . but guess what? Remote viewing is just conspiracy nut pseudoscience and cannot possibly work. Anyway . . . our "known" history has not seen a large scale landmass and oceans, into motion event but they do occur and might even be our biggest natural threat. There's virtually no size limit to earthquakes and the their subsequent "mega" tsunamis but we don't hear much about it. Psychics are saying they see California cracking into the ocean in the near future! I choose truth for myself, it's so much more interesting!

    Thus, while we can give the class an "A" for their production of this high quality video, we must mark them down for "not" uncovering that the Younger Dryas has been marked in time, as occurring repeatedly, every 12.6 thousand years, or so. That the event repeats is the most significant "fact". Almost as important is the fact that the Apollo Astronauts found massive evidence on the moon over 50 years ago that the event causing the Younger Dryas was a solar micronova. Nor has the professor of this class seen fit to help all of us by producing the links to: Dr. Anthony Perat, Dr. Robert Shock, the Diehold Foundation, BenDavidson's SuspiciousObservers.org, Dr. Wallace Thornhill, Dr. Donald Scott of TheThunderboltsProject, Dr. Michael Claridge of The Safire Project... and so on, for leading all of us to the significance of all this. Traditional academia, it seems, is incapable of actually "providing" useful education in the solutions to real problems. So we might also include Google in our thanks, for keeping this forum extant.
    Of most benefit to all of us is the Safire Project, which has demonstrated experimentally here on earth how to create sustainable fusion power. It could lead our descendents out of darkness the next time the sun throws a conniption.

    Thanks to geologists, we think that all living things on our planet have the most to fear from an asteroid impact. But when we look at the many horizontal layers that we find everywhere on our planet, we clearly see the effect of a repeating cataclysm. These disasters are mentioned in ancient books like the Mahabharata from India and the Popol Vuh from the Maya. They tell us about a cycle of seven disasters. Certainly, a cycle of regularly recurring, thus predictable but inescapable global disasters cannot be caused by asteroid impacts. The only possible cause is another celestial body, a planet, orbiting our sun in an eccentric orbit. Then it is close to the sun for a short period and after the crossing at a very high speed it disappears into the universe for a long time. Planet 9 exists, but it seems to be invisible. These disasters create a terrible natural cataclysm with much flooding and a cycle of civilizations. To learn much more about the recurring flood cycle, the re-creation of civilizations and its timeline and ancient high technology, read the e-book: "Planet 9 = Nibiru". This book answers many of your questions about our past. It can be read on any computer, tablet or smartphone. Search: invisible nibiru 9

    Nice thoughts but you have missed looking at a Mini Nova of the Sun where all these glassy carbon spherules, the rounded magnetic particles, the nano diamonds and the iridium spikes will all be found - Look at the Safire project's latest results. Wildfires would result and probably widespread glacial melting so all your observations would be correct under a mini nova basis - which is also a repeating phenomena.

    At approximately t=5 minutes you speak of "theory 2, a bolide impact" as an alternative to "theory one, a stop of the thermohaline circulation because of meltwater dumped into the ocean". That logic is flawed, those theories are not necessarily alternatives, theory 2 is one of the possible causes for the event in theory 1. Both may have combined.
