very large planet or of a sun, they start to break up into multiple parts, and this is what happened to the Younger Dryas comet. Instead of being a single bullet, it became a shotgun blast. It became thousands and thousands ofobjects, of which we've cataloged quite a lot. Numbers of them, comet Encke is the best known bit of that
been put forward is a radical change in solar activity. This might have been involved with it as well. I don't find that as persuasive as the Younger Dryas impact hypothesis. And you know, maybe some other explanation will come up. But what nobody disputes is that the Younger Dryas was a catastrophe. Uh it was global uh and and it had huge effects.
I don't dispute that. Glacial lakes were involved, but those lakes were filled up at a massive speed. Nobody disputes that the Younger Dryas was a cataclysmic event. It's just that the degree of the cataclysm that's disputed and what caused it that's disputed.
It doesn't melt and go into the sea. So, the next thing is, how do we explain this sudden rise in sea levels at the beginning of Younger Dryas ? It shouldn't have happened. The comet theory explains it perfectly.
It is. That's That's the Younger Dryas boundary. And I'm with Alan West, who's one of the scientists from the from the comet research group who are working on the Younger Dryas hypothesis. And our hands are on that black stripe running through the middle of the draw. And that is soot. That is evidence of wildfires burning.
The solid science that's been done on this is twofold. One aspect of it, the one that I think it I find most persuasive is called the Younger Dryas impact hypothesis and this is a mainstream hypothesis, but it is severely criticized within academia. The hypothesis is that
which I'll throw up on the screen I think you say is evidence that something took place. It is. That's That's the Younger Dryas boundary. And I'm with Alan West, who's one of the scientists from the from the comet research group who are working on the Younger Dryas hypothesis. And our hands are on that black stripe running
microspherules, some platinum, some iridium. All signatures of a cometary impact. And there it is. It's about 5 in thick. That layer is the Younger Dryas boundary layer. It dates to 12,800 years ago. So, for anyone that can't see, it's just like a slice of earth and there's this black line going through through the
another puzzle that I don't think archaeologists solved. So, you think there could have been a civilization 20,000 years ago which was before this Younger Dryas moment where um I mean, I've got this photo here which I'll throw up on the screen I think you say is evidence that something took place.
earth. We're in a draw here where a river has cut a channel. And it's exposed the sides of the channel. And on the sides of the channel, we can see this black stripe running through. And that is precisely the Younger Dryas boundary. And the current hypothesis is from a lot of archaeologists is there wasn't a human civilization before this point, 12,000 years ago. But you believe
