Some of them may also have hit the Northern European ice cap, resulting in that sudden, otherwise unexplained, flood of meltwater that went into the world ocean.

um and and uh caused the cooling that then that then took place but this was a disaster for life all over the planet and and it's interesting that one of the sites where they find the younger dryas boundary and where they find overwhelming evidence of an air burst and where they find all the shocked quartz the carbon microspherules the nano diamonds the trinitite and so on and so forth

All of those impact proxies are found at Abu Huraira. That was a settlement within 150 miles of Gobekli Tepe, and it was hit 12,800 years ago, and it was obliterated. Interestingly, it was re-inhabited by human beings within probably five years, but it was completely obliterated at that time.

And it's difficult to imagine that the people who lived in that area would not have been very impressed by what they saw happening, by these massive explosions in the sky and the obliteration of Abu Huraira. This is a theory, the Younger Dryas Impact. It's a hypothesis, actually. It's not even a theory. A theory is, I think, considered a higher level than a hypothesis.

That's why it's the Younger Dryas Impact hypothesis. And of course, it has many opponents, and there are many who disagree with it. And there have been a series of... peer-reviewed papers that have been published supposedly debunking the Younger Dryas impact hypothesis. One, I think, was in 2011. It was called a requiem for the Younger Dryas impact hypothesis.

And there's one just been published a few months ago or a year ago, you know, called a complete refutation of the Younger Dryas impact hypothesis, something like that, some lengthy title. So it's a hypothesis that has its opponents. And even within those of us who are looking at the alternative side of history, there are different points of view.

Robert Shock from Boston University, the geologist who demonstrated that the erosion on the Sphinx may well have been caused by exposure to a long period of very heavy rainfall. He doesn't go for the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis. fully accepts that the Younger Dryas was a global cataclysm and that the extinctions took place, but he thinks it was caused by some kind of massive solar outburst.

So what everybody's agreed on is the Younger Dryas was bad, but there is dispute about what caused it. I personally have found the Younger Dryas impact hypothesis to be the most persuasive, which most effectively explains all the evidence.
