Comet does not cause Clovis disaster

For a long time, scientists blamed the comet 'killer' for starting the cycle of destroying ancient culture 13,000 years ago, until a new hypothesis emerged.

More than 13,000 years ago, North America was inhabited by Clovis communities, a prehistoric culture known for its superior stone crafting capabilities, according to a popular hypothesis in the scientific world.

The point here is evidence that the whole culture seems to evaporate quickly, just like after a night.

Experts removed the hypothesis that comets attacked Earth during the Clovis event

Previously, the scientists suspected that only the attack of a celestial body hit the surface of the Earth, creating a cold stream of air down the entire continent, triggering the ice age known as the Big Freeze. terrible cold).

This hypothesis suggests that the Clovis culture, which was not prepared for such a rapidly falling temperature, was quickly annihilated.

Now, according to Science Daily, a group of experts from 14 science institutes argue that there are no collisions here.

According to the new hypothesis, Clovis culture was not destroyed as speculated, but instead switched to Folsoms, another ancient culture, between 9,000 and 8,000 years ago.
