The contemporary picture of pre-history has been pieced together with total disregard for the effects impact phenomena had on our ancestors. Obviously the image of our past will be much different when this newly discovered influence is factored in. As already mentioned, it is becoming clear that…

I am not entirely convinced of an ET origin for such features (or even Carolina bays for that matter). Still, the chat had not specifically mentioned the odd bays of Bolivia, so I thought I would drop in a Google map box and show them off — whatever…
