Shawn Ryan Show
Exploring Catastrophic Extinctions: A Dive into Ancient Cosmic Impacts
The chapter investigates the Younger Dryas period and its impact on megafauna species, including mammoths, proposing a theory of a catastrophic event caused by a cosmic impact. It delves into the scientific evidence supporting the impact theory, such as iridium spikes and the discovery of mammoth remains in Alaska, linking similar events to past mass extinctions. The discussion transitions to ancient civilizations' potential ability to predict cosmic events through sky watching and the use of observatories, drawing parallels between ancient cultures and modern astronomical practices.
