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…

Joe Rogan on the Younger Dryas Impact, July 5th 2022 Flashback: Where did all the dads go? It’s Labor Day and that means the Tusk is back. 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…

It’s summer and posting YouTube videos is certainly in order. Here’s a good one I had missed: In 2020 Jimmy Corsetti, Jahannah James and the Tusk were fellow travelers in Egypt. In fact, we explored the ‘Osiris Shaft’ on the Giza Plateau together. My favorite thing about the trip was hanging with popular communicators like these two and Ben of UnchartedX, who I knew would…

An Open Letter on Panspermia

The Tusk tossed the following question to the Dark Horse Podcast in hopes that the dynamic duo of Heather Heying and Bret Weinstein will address Panspermia in an upcoming show. They are the PERFECT intellectuals to investigate and speak to the work of Hoyle and Wickramasinghe. I have submitted the question to them on Patreon and Twitter. June 10, 2022 Dear Heather and Bret, I love you two and have…
