New Evidence Supports Ice Age Comet Theory Wednesday, July 30, 2008 - Shalhevet Bar-Asher Home >> News >> Space

Recent geological evidence gathered in Ohio and Indiana has been verified by a University of Cincinnati assistant professor as support of a comet theory, claiming a comet explosion over earth was the cause of drastic changes to life on our planet. This evidence strengthens initial data collected over a year ago. The explosion, which occurred over what is now Canada, caused the extinction of animals and cultures and lengthened the Ice Age that should have been coming to an end.

This chain of events resulted in the destroying of primitive Stone Age cultures as well as the extinction of various animals such as mammoths and mastodons. It also prompted a 1,300 year period of climatic cooling, disrupting the development of emerging civilizations in Europe and Asia. The theory stemmed from the finding of a layer of microscopic diamonds at 26 different locations in Canada, the United States, and Europe. The group claimed these diamonds were the remains of a large carbon rich comet that crashed into our planet 12,900 years ago. New geological evidence found in Ohio and Indiana lends strong support to this theory. University of Cincinnati assistant professor of anthropology Ken Tankersley, working with Allen West and Indiana Geological Society research scientist Nelson R. Schaffer, has studied samples of diamond, gold, and silver from these areas. These samples have been traced, using x-ray diffractometry, to the diamond fields in Canada. The only plausible explanation as to how these samples could have migrated this far south is an explosion of the magnitude of a comet explosion. This is the strongest support yet of the comet theory.
Over the years various theories trying to explain the disappearance of the first Stone Age civilization in America, the extinction of mammoths, and the sudden cooling of the planet have surfaced. The latest findings offer a common cause for these events and may put to rest widely debated theories. As more data is gathered Tankersley, West, and Schaffer will be publishing their findings, which are another step in understanding the history of our planet. Ken Tankersley can be seen in the documentary "Asteroids" airing on the National Geographic channel as part of their "Naked Science" series. TFOT has recently reported on a theory about the near-extinction of the human race 70,000 years ago, and also covered a new method for the estimation of meteorite impacts, including the meteorite that was the trigger for the mass extinction of the dinosaurs. TFOT also covered the recent Peruvian meteorite and some new potential findings regarding the Tunguska meteorite as well as a new model showing that our solar system goes through the plane of the galaxy every 35-40 million years, accompanied by comets hurtling into the inner solar system, coinciding with mass life extinctions on Earth. Further information on the recent findings can be found on the University of Cincinnati’s news website. Top image: Comet (Credit: NASA). |

didn't immanuuel velikovsky first propose a similar theory? Along with evidence from the 1800's of massive piles of bones, possible caused by the shock wave? |

Hi My name Is Dr.Culbertson I work for Virgin Galactic. This fact is a total myth and should be evaluated as such. As comatary activity has nothing to do with the Ice Age. Thank You, Dr. Adam W. Culbertson VIRGIN GALACTIC COPYRIGHT 2011. |

As a theory was properly proposed for this matter. The Effects Comets Have on Planet Earth is very minimal. Although Farther study is needed. Dr. Steven J. Ycilop. Co-Founder of Michigan Galactic Procedures Foundation for Researching Plausible theory and Myth. (M.G.P.F.R.T.M) As this Foundation grows we will launch Orbisis, our first orbital space probe to orbit Comets outside on the edge of are subdivision. Maiden Launch is set to take place on May 18, 2012. An estimated 14 million dollars has been raised in the "Orbisis" fund in this projects 20 year research. Orbital Probe will feature Panasonic Image capturing technology to relay Hi-Definition Images back to our Reaserch Labortory. As this could very well be the first every privately funded long distance space probe launch. |
