Something Hit the Earth 12,900 Years Ago. We Found the Crater. | Younger Dryas Impact

In 2007, scientists drilling into the Greenland ice sheet found something that shouldn't be there: platinum, iridium, nano diamonds, and magnetic spherules — all deposited at the same moment, 12,900 years before the present. They checked other cores. North America. Europe. Syria. Chile. South Africa. India. Same layer. Same chemistry. Same geological moment. Then they found something else. Every culture on Earth — from Mesopotamia to the Pacific Islands — has a flood myth that begins with fire falling from the sky. This is the full investigation: the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis, the Hiawatha crater buried under two kilometres of Greenland ice, the 20 million square kilometres of coastline that vanished under rising seas, and why the same story is told in 200 cultures on 6 continents. This is History B-Sides. ────────────────────────────── CHAPTERS (~29-min runtime) ────────────────────────────── 0:00 The Ice Core — Greenland, 2007 1:30 The Younger Dryas Boundary Layer 3:00 Platinum, Nanodiamonds, and Cosmic Markers 5:00 The Impact Hypothesis 7:00 The Clovis Disappearance and Megafauna Extinction 9:00 The Laurentide Ice Sheet 11:00 Sea Level Rise: 120 Metres and 20 Million Square Kilometres 13:00 The People Who Lived on the Coast 15:00 The Hiawatha Crater: Confirmed, 2018 17:00 The Scientific Debate 19:00 The Flood Myths: 200 Cultures, 6 Continents 21:00 Gilgamesh, Noah, Manu, Deucalion — The Same Story 23:00 The Tiwanaku Connection: Fire Before Water 25:00 The Underwater Archive 27:00 What Remains Open 28:30 Outro ────────────────────────────── SOURCES ────────────────────────────── • Firestone, R.B. et al.
