Unearthing Our Forgotten Past: Rediscovering Lost Histories

One of the most devastating events in our planet's recent history occurred around 12,800 years ago, when a shower of comet fragments struck the Earth, triggering a global apocalypse. A study published in Nature (“Evidence of Cosmic Impact at Abu Hureyra, Syria at the Younger Dryas Onset”) confirms that this cataclysm had devastating effects on at least four continents. The impacts generated explosions comparable to those of thermonuclear devices, annihilating all life in the affected areas, while the dust raised into the atmosphere triggered a sudden cooling of the climate, known as the Younger Dryas.

…

As described by Science, the event was of unimaginable violence: “A white fireball, four times larger than the Sun, tore through the sky. The explosion vaporized rocks and ice, while the shock wave spread for hundreds of kilometers.” A similar phenomenon, albeit on a smaller scale, occurred in 1908 in Tunguska, Siberia, where an object exploded in the atmosphere, flattening 80 million trees without leaving any craters. This shows that even indirect impacts can have catastrophic consequences.

...

According to research by Kennett et al. (PNAS, 2015), the Younger Dryas caused an unprecedented demographic collapse, with an estimated mortality rate of between 30% and 60% of the human population in the affected regions. Considering that at the end of the Pleistocene, the Earth was home to about 5 million individuals, this means that between 1.5 and 3 million people died in the first two centuries after the impact.

...

Before this catastrophe, some theories hypothesize the existence of a global maritime civilization that developed along equatorial routes. Starting from Sundaland (the ancient continent now submerged in Southeast Asia), this culture would have reached Yonaguni (Japan), Nan Madol (Micronesia), the coasts of Central and South America, and then pushed on to northwestern Africa (where the mysterious Richat Structure stands today) and southern Turkey (Göbekli Tepe).

..

This hypothetical civilization, advanced and linked to astronomical and marine cycles, was wiped out in a few centuries due to:

1 - Cometary impact

2 - Climate collapse (Younger Dryas)

3 - Rising sea levels (end of the last glaciation)

4 - Desertification of the Sahara

...

Some clues seem to support this theory:

A - Göbekli Tepe (11,600 years ago) has megalithic structures that are too advanced for an era in which, according to official archaeology, humans were still nomadic.

B - Submerged cities (such as those off the coast of India and Japan) suggest that entire settlements were swallowed by the waters.

C - Global myths about the Great Flood could be distorted memories of this event.

...

If a pre-catastrophic global civilization really existed, it was not simply destroyed, but forgotten. The survivors, scattered across a devastated planet, may have attempted to pass on their knowledge in the form of myths, symbols, and cyclopean constructions. Buildings such as those at Tiwanaku, Nan Madol, or the Pyramid of Giza itself may not be starting points, but residual echoes of a lost science.

...

It is significant that the most ancient cultures remember a golden age that ended in tragedy: the Egyptians speak of Zep Tepi, the Sumerians of the antediluvian kings, the Greeks of Atlantis. The story repeats itself, as if humanity were trying to reconstruct a collective memory buried under millennia of oblivion. Today, thanks to geology, genetics, and satellite archaeology, we are beginning to reconnect the fragments. The sands of the Sahara have yielded glass melted at over 2000 °C. Greenland ice cores show irrefutable peaks of platinum and nitric acid compatible with an extraterrestrial impact. And beneath the ocean floor, LIDAR detects geometric regularities that defy natural explanation.

...

Are we rewriting prehistory? Or are we just listening with new ears to a story that has always been there, carved in stone? The ultimate question is not just what we have lost, but who we really were before the catastrophe.
