Younger Dryas Impact

A comet, a flood, a reset. Every culture remembers the water.

The Younger Dryas (c. 10,900-9,700 BCE) was a real, abrupt return to glacial cold. The impact hypothesis — a comet airburst triggering it, evidenced by a claimed platinum spike and black mat layer — is published, contested, and unresolved in the literature. It anchors the 'lost civilization reset' chronology: Göbekli Tepe's construction follows it, Plato's Atlantis date falls inside it, and every flood myth gets read against its meltwater pulses.
