#17 What Geologists Won’t Say About the Carolina Bays | Chris Cottrell

21 Aug 2025

Description

Chris Cottrell takes us inside one of North America’s strangest mysteries — the Carolina Bays. Are these giant, perfectly elliptical depressions natural ponds shaped by wind, or scars left by a massive cosmic event? We cover theories from the Younger Dryas comet impact to evidence of an older cataclysm nearly 800,000 years ago. Along the way, we explore LiDAR discoveries, nanodiamonds, extinct megafauna, and why mainstream geology still resists change. A must-listen for fans of ancient history, catastrophic geology, and unanswered questions about our planet’s past. #CarolinaBays #YoungerDryas #AncientHistory #CosmicImpact #LostCivilizations #GeologyMysteries #EarthHistory #ExtinctionEvent
