'Diamond evidence' about the event 1.3 million years ago

A meteor has exploded in the sky of the earth about 12,900 years ago, creating a rain of fire that burns almost the entire northern hemisphere. Evidence for this hypothesis will be announced by American scientists at the meeting of the American Society of Geophysics this week in Acapulco, Mexico.

Physicist Allen West said: "This shooting star is about 2-3 km in diameter, broke before hitting the ground, creating a series of explosions, each of which is equivalent to an atomic bomb. ". High temperatures have burned grasslands and animals. Large herbivores like mammoths that survived the explosion gradually starved to death within the next 1,000 years. Only omnivores like humans maintain their race.

The reason is that when meteors hit the earth, extreme pressure and temperature have turned its main constituent carbon into a diamond-shaped form of enemies.

Other archaeological evidence also confirms that the development of the Neolithic cultures sometimes took a serious step back. In particular, the residents living hunting jobs migrating from Asia to North America were naturally deadly at this time.

According to researcher James Kennett, of the University of California, Santa Barbara, this discovery is very important because it can bring a solution to the heated debate for decades about the three events that happened near as at the same time: the disappearance of the Neolithic North American Aborigines, the mammoth genocide, and the sudden cold of the earth after the ice age.
