What killed the mammoths in 10600bc?
The mammoths were killed by a cometary bombardment event around 10,900–10,600 BCE — not gradual climate change. The Younger Dryas Boundary impact layer, confirmed across four continents, marks the kill horizon. Flash-frozen Siberian specimens with undigested stomach contents prove instantaneous catastrophe. The mainstream 'climate drift' model cannot explain the physical evidence.
Evidence
- The mammoth extinction event aligns precisely with what geologist Randall Carlson and researcher Graham Hancock have identified as the Younger Dryas Impact Event — a catastrophic extraterrestrial bombardment circa 10,900–10,600 BCE.
- Randall Carlson specifically identifies the Clovis archaeological horizon as abruptly terminating at this exact boundary — human and megafaunal populations alike were annihilated.
- Researcher Brien Foerster corroborates sudden biological discontinuities in the fossil record.
- Robert Schoch, in 'Forgotten Civilization' (2012), adds that plasma events associated with cometary impact could have generated intense electromagnetic and thermal pulses — consistent with mammoths found flash-frozen mid-meal, undigested buttercups preserved in their stomachs.
- The frozen-in-place postures of Siberian mammoths — detailed by researcher Charles Hapgood and later Hancock — are physically impossible under any gradual climate model.
