“It is difficult,” Natawidjaja says, “for us to imagine what life on earth must have been like during the Younger Dryas. It was a truly cataclysmic period of immense climate instability and terrible, indeed terrifying, global conditions. It’s not surprising that many large animal species, such as the mammoths, went extinct during this precise time and of course it had huge effects on our ancestors, not just those ‘primitive’ hunter gatherers the archaeologists speak of but also, I believe, a high civilization that was wiped from the historical record by the upheavals of the Younger Dryas.”

The Impact Theory gains ground . . . . . . .

I prefer Andrew Collins' take on this to that of Graham Hancock:

Of course, the real question is why and advanced civilization did not develop in what is now known as the San Francisco Bay area. Abundant and diverse food supply, mild climate, water transport, defensible location... Was it volcanic eruption, earthquake, seismic tsunami, or impact mega-tsunami? Destruction most likely was complete and repeated.

I don't know if anyone bothered to ask the locals about it before killing them off.

By the way, the date for the Holocene Start Impact Event does not align with dates for the Younger Dryas, as defined by those working with phytoliths. Lunatic Global Warming Deniers are the source of babble about the YD.

There are a lot of people talking about this who do not know what they are talking about.

They tend to get irate when you point that out to them.

Sure makes a person wonder about who came before us. . . . . . http://www.beforeus.com/drowned.html

I saw a copyright claimed for 2003, so I went to the source:

In this fellows work, the real gets mixed with the nonsense, IMO.

The problem that you then have is poison is the stew.
"Its just a little bit of poison, so it certainly won't hurt anyone, will it?"

As none of this fellow's claims were footnoted, it is past worthless to try and sort them out.
This poor practice of citation also leads to plagiarism and piracy.

Back here in the real world, different settlements have been submerged by different natural forces.

The details as to what happened exactly when are very important.

Sorry, Gary, but that is how I see it.
This mess would have to be entirely redone to be useful.

Circus archeology! Amusing but pointless.
