Ancient Stone Tablet Found: Reveals Comet Impact Sparking The Rise Of Civilization

[OriZ 3,165]

Scientists have translated an ancient stone tablet found at a temple in Turkey. The tablet confirms that a comet struck Earth around 11,000BC, leading to global destruction including the extinction of the woolly mammoth and the rise of new civilizations.

 

The carvings were found in Gobekli Tepe in southern Turkey, the world's oldest known temple and a site for ancient observatory and worship. In fact, the temple dates back to 9,000BC, approximately 6,000 years older than Stonehenge.

 

The carvings at the center of the recent scientific publication were found on a pillar known as the Vulture Stone. The carvings depict various animals corresponding to astronomical constellations. The stone also shows a swarm of comet fragments as they hit Earth and a headless man symbolizing human disaster and death.

The symbols found point to a large comet impact around 13,000 years ago. This was then cross-checked against simulations of what the Solar System would look like during that time and scientists were able to identify the comet strike was around 10,950BC. Likely not coincidentally, this is the start of the global cooling event called the Younger Dryas.

 

The Younger Dryas was a pivotal moment in human civilization. Previously, humans were largely nomadic hunters that harvested wild grains without establishing permanent locations. The onset of the global cooling led groups of people to begin cultivating crops to endure a harder climate. This gave rise to farming and livestock breeding that we still employ today.

The Younger Dryas took place as Earth was transitioning from the Last Glacial Maximum ice age to an interglacial warm period. The event was unusual in that there was a small short lived reversal in the overall warming trend causing the Earth to cool for approximately 1,200 years.

Some hypotheses link the cooling to a large influx of fresh water from melted glaciers on North America into the northern Atlantic Ocean. This, in theory, caused a fresh water cap over the North Atlantic and slowed down the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation which in part distributes heat from the equators to the poles. However, another potential cause of the cooling was the aforementioned comet strike around the start of the Younger Dryas. This could have initiated a global cooling period and extinction caused from upthrown debris and dust into the atmosphere. While there is significant evidence of a comet strike, there is still debate as to whether this was responsible for the onset of the Younger Dryas.

 

The comet hypothesis must be tempered by the fact that no physical impact site has been found, the smoking gun evidence needed to confirm the onset of the Younger Dryas was due to a comet impact. Unlocking the events that led to the Younger Dryas would provide further understanding of the agricultural boom and rise of the first Neolithic civilizations.

We can sit here and talk about immigration and elections and this and that like we're all so important but at the end of the day lets keep proportion:

 

 

A new image from NASA's Cassini spacecraft shows planet Earth as a point of light between the icy rings of Saturn.

The spacecraft captured the view on April 12, 2017, at 10:41 p.m. PDT (1:41 a.m. EDT on April 13). Cassini was 870 million miles (1.4 billion kilometers) away from Earth when the image was taken. Although far too small to be visible in the image, the part of Earth facing Cassini at the time was the southern Atlantic Ocean.

 

To the left is the moon...stunning. If that doesn't make ya feel small...

A few thoughts to ponder:

The cave men were on some kind of ancient organic acid trip and imagined the comet.

The moon can't be seen in the NASA imagine, it's a spec of dirt on your computer screen. I can only see the earth. 

Since no evidence of the comet strike can be found, it's just like the Russians interfering in the election. 

 

 

All kidding aside, good post. Very interesting.

For some reason I can't see that image near the bottom of your post @OriZ.

 

Anyways, outer space is something that greatly interests me. But as far as this theory goes, the wording of it doesn't inspire much confidence in it's accuracy, just something fun to think about I guess.

The only fitting comment to your post should be: Fascinating!

I have always been fascinated with the fact that if you looked at a star far enough away with a telescope, all you'd see is a white wall of matter. And if someone from there looked towards earth, they would see the same thing even though here we are.

Do you think they're watching us?

Or crazier still, if you look at an empty swatch of space far enough away, there may be an entire galaxy there at this very moment, and we'll never know. It's so easy to understand how our perception of time and space is inadequate when you're thinking in that magnitude.

What's interested me is to know exactly (for sure, rather than hypothesize) what is beyond where our two interstellar-bound probes are. The exact distance of the interstellar medium, the distance and size of the oort cloud, etc., before another galaxy or MW solar system's gravity kicks in. Black holes are fascinating too.. the science ones as well. I really want to know if there really is one at the center of our galaxy and how large. A lot of these are mainly awaiting confirmation of existing theory.

In the grand scheme of things, we're all really insignificant.
