The group put together a library of research about what its members called the Younger Dryas climate episode, which is said to have involved a comet that struck the earth 12,800 years ago. That impact resulted in widespread destruction and major changes to the climate, as well as the creation of diamonds, a mysterious “black mat,” and other interesting things that archaeologists and researchers have since uncovered and studied.
There were actually three major events that occurred around that time, according to the group, that resulted in a sudden return of Ice Age-like temperatures. And believe it or not, these events did not result from humans eating meat and driving gas-powered vehicles.
“Temperatures plunged 10 degrees Celsius (18 degrees Fahrenheit) and stayed low for about 1,400 years,” the group explains. “That abrupt change is called the Younger Dryas (YD) climate episode. It is the most unusual cooling event in about two million years.”
That series of events resulted in widespread death and the extinction of the many large animals, according to the group – this event has since been dubbed a “megafauna.”
“Tens of millions of large animals went extinct within a short time. Mammoths, mastodons, and saber-toothed tigers disappeared.”
Human population levels also plunged at the same time for the very
same reason, the group says. As much as 60 percent of the world’s total
population disappeared, and so did the cultures and civilizations that
lived during that time....<<<Read More>>>....
