Summer Grab Bag

Truly bored readers must have noticed my posts trailing off this summer, just like last year. But knowledge waits for no man — even if he is on the beach with a beer. So here are a few intriguing subjects that are barking in the dog days: Another purported ancient Mega-Tsunami is claimed by a reputable archaeologist to have swept into Ireland, this wave in Medieval times. The news…

The Baillie Years: Catastrophic impacts during human times

Highly recommended reading Below is a neat little overview of the work of Mike Baillie and others to define a cause for the worldwide climate downturns of: 3195 BC, 2354 BC, 1628 BC, 1159 BC, 207 BC, 44 BC, and 540 AD. It is found here on a website devoted to liberalizing Islam (not a bad cause itself). Unless a modern day Twain, Mark penned this, I think we can assume the author was using a nom…

Shiva...

 …the Destroyer Dr. Hermann Burchard, a gentleman Tusk reader, insightful contributor, and emeritus mathematician, suggested I post a paper regarding the Shiva Structure off Mumbai, India, the little known brother of Chicxulub.  The question is whether it is a fraternal twin, or younger or older sibling.

Now Showing: Tusk TV

It occurred to me that there was no dedicated link on the Tusk to my (poorly produced) videos concerning the YDB hypothesis (mostly from conferences), and other YouTube content regarding our subject, such as full length TV shows, academic lectures, and nutty and not so nutty videos from the public.

Clovis Comet on BBC and The History Channel

The History Channel has made an entire episode of Prehistorc Megastorms concerning the Younger Dryas Boundary event available on YouTube. UPDATE: I have also found a full BBC episode concerning the theory which I was entirely unaware of. It makes a nice level headed contrast to the breathless tedium of the History Channel show. Great to see these videos available, even when flawed, to explain the…

Lee Bement on the Clovis Comet

I happened upon this dated but interesting video of Dr. Leland C. Bement of the University of Oklahoma lecturing on the Younger Dryas Boundary hypothesis. The audio is painfully faint, and I am still watching it, but Bement is a careful, open-minded researcher who is contributing to the investigation. I wonder how his large grant noted here is proceeding? 25:20 minutes seems to be the start of…
