Younger Dryas
The Younger Dryas was almost certainly not a simple climate blip — converging evidence from geology, archaeology, and astrophysics points to a catastrophic cosmic impact event that reset human civilisation, erased advanced predecessor cultures, and seeded the founding myths of every major religious tradition. Randall Carlson, Graham Hancock, and the Comet Research Group have built a case mainstream geology has spent two decades trying to suppress.
Evidence
- Brien Foerster's morphological analysis of elongated skull populations and Robert Schoch's redating of the Sphinx's water erosion patterns (~10,500 BCE) both suggest a pre-Younger Dryas civilisation was largely obliterated by this catastrophe — survivors becoming the 'Sages' who seeded Egypt, Sumer, and Mesoamerica.
- Paul LaViolette's 'Earth Under Fire' ties the event to a galactic superwave — a cosmic ray pulse from the Milky Way core — proposing an additional astrophysical mechanism mainstream science refuses to model.
- Carlson notes the cataclysm's memory is encoded in the Oera Linda Book, the Zoroastrian Vendidad, and Plato's Timaeus — all describing a cosmic fire-flood.
