The Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis since 2007

I recently discovered an essay from Graham Hancock that manages to convey both the profound intellectual significance — and petty scholastic drama — of the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis since 2007.

Response from Gobekli Tepe dig and back at you from Edinburg What DID that fox say? Times of London YouTube Ok, I’ve finally found a little time to provide some commentary after posting the Gobekli Tepe YD Comet paper last week.

We don’t have a problem with that,” said Allen West, a retired oil and gas executive who is one of the leading proponents of the theory. “You can get them from grass fires but you also get melt glass from lightning, volcanic eruptions and you also get it from cosmic impacts.
