These planetary changes would have caused sky fires, rapid freezing and immense tsunamis on a global scale. These correlations among ancient narratives in which our cultural memory begins on a flooded and devastated planet hint at the possibility that these stories have their roots in the ancestral memory of Earth’s most recent planetary cataclysm – the global impact of the Clovis Comet an extinction level event along with the trauma of the Younger Dryas Cold period from 12,800 to 11,600 years ago.
