Russian scientists deny the theory that the Tunguska event, one of the world's largest explosions, occurred because of meteorites , Sun reported on January 23.

The Tunguska event happened on June 20, 1908 in Siberia, Russia destroyed the 2,000-square-kilometer forest with about 80 million trees. Its power is equivalent to 185 atomic bombs used in Hiroshima, Japan. Before the event, a large fireball trail appeared in the sky of Siberia.

After 20 years of research, Italian scientists concluded that the origin of the explosion was caused by meteorites. They assumed that there were two meteorites, in which a meteorite crashed into the Earth and formed a hollow. It was then filled with rainwater, becoming Lake Cheko in Siberia today.

Russian scientists have recently taken sediment samples about 50 meters deep below the lake surface for geochemical and biochemical analysis. The results show that the deepest sample they get is about 280 years old. This is not a sediment layer at the bottom of the lake, proving that this lake has a longer origin, formed before the Tunguska event occurred.

" In addition, many other deep pools in the Tunguska reserve are shaped and geologically similar to Lake Cheko, " the Russian Geographic Association concluded.
