New science suggests a global cataclysm between 20,800 and 11,600 years ago, potentially linked to Plato's Atlantis destruction, impacting the rise of civilizations and species like humans, challenging traditional historical timelines. Evidence supporting a cosmic impact 12,800 years ago and the age of Göbekli Tepe suggests a transfer of technology from a lost civilization, prompting a reevaluation of historical narratives, such as the age of the Sphinx in Egypt.
Insights
- New scientific evidence suggests a global cataclysm occurred between 20,800 and 11,600 years ago, potentially linked to Plato's description of Atlantis, challenging the dismissal of Atlantis as a myth by historians and archaeologists.
- The alignment of the Younger Dryas period, the end of which coincided with the date of 11,600 years ago, with the destruction of Atlantis and the rise of megalithic architecture at Göbekli Tepe raises questions about established historical timelines, suggesting the presence of advanced civilizations and technology predating conventional historical accounts.
