Cosmic Summit

Tusk Party

After 28 years of fascination, I’ve now completely lost my mind and gone all in. The Tusk is sponsoring a speculative ancient history — and hard science — gathering June 16 – 18, 2023, in Asheville, North Carolina. The Cosmic Summit 2023 will feature controversial authors, speculative internet personalities, and hard nosed Phd’s from the Comet Research Group. As…

Special Event: Randall Carlson Halloween video lecture

My apologies for the late notice, but I want to make sure Tusk readers know of Randall Carlson’s Halloween video being released tomorrow on HowTube. I consider Randall’s lectures on the origins of Halloween to be anything but child’s play. Culture’s around the world observe this period of the year, late October and early November, as the Week of the Dead. Why is this…

Ancient Apocalypse

It’s kinda hard for your correspondent to keep a secret, but I’ve managed to keep my Tusk shut for quite some time now about a long planned Netflix series concerning the Younger Dryas Impact. Tusk buddy, author and series host Graham Hancock contacted me in February 2020, while I was holed up in a New Orleans hotel room watching developments concerning the newly popular Wuhan Flu.

Anyone interested in the speculative history of ancient North America will remember tireless communicator and Tusk buddy Chuck Appleton. I thought it appropriate on the first anniversary of his death to recall his timeless contribution. Cfapps7865 made more than 3000 videos concerning our mysterious past — or a video each day for nearly a decade. If the afterlife has a golf course, Chuck is…

Repost: CRG on TV

Program note: My apologies to subscribers who received my email last night, but were unable to see the post later today. I migrated the Tusk this morning to a new server and my most recent missive was a victim of the transition. Here it is again: The Comet Research Group’s 2020 Nature paper, “Evidence of Cosmic Impact at Abu Hureyra, Syria at the Younger Dryas Onset (~12.8 ka)…

Much of the discipline-specific text is hard for the Tusk to fully grasp, and I have had no time to properly review, but I have asked Bill to provide a…

I tend to slack off posting in the summer, which means we have some catching up to do. Last month a little noted but fascinating journal article was published providing empirical, genetic evidence for a central claim of the Comet Research…

In 2009 the newly proposed Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis was knee capped by Surovell et al. To this day, despite a comprehensive 2012 expose of Todd Surovell’s flaws, his premature rejection of the YD impact is uncritically cited by opponents of the evidence and remains the final word in many closed minds. It remains a grudging task of the Comet Research Group to periodically refute his…

Background from Smithsonian Magazine Breakdown from Archeothoughts Erudite Tusk commentor Stuart Hamish below refers accurately to this Neuheuser and Neuheuser paper responding to Tankersley et al., as “hair splitting.” I’d agree. Stuart also includes some juicy tidbits about other modern impacts that are worth sharing. Incidentally, I plan to take Stuart up on his suggestion…
