Nazca may of been hit by the comet that destroyed Bolivia
(1/1)
Alan Hassell:
Unexplained reasons why cultures suddenly died off and disappeared in Bolivia and surrounding areas may of been caused by the comet that devastated Britain in AD 562.
New evidence is emerging that Nazca in Peru suffered a similar fate where its population just disappeared off the face of the planet.
For some strange reason famine appears to be the solution that Archaeologists and others have theorised the unexplained departures of civilisations, when there could be an even better solution to how this happened.
If there was a comet strike and the skies went black through debris and the sun could not penetrate the atmosphere then there would be an ice age like event where nothing would grow and food was contaminated by fall out from the debris.
This could of poisoned off growing crops and killing any lifestock and animals.
Take a look at this link regarding Nazca and the dates although not precise put the event into the same time that the comet hit Britain.

Theres much more to this than meets the eye because there are similar stories to be found on this site

Archaeologist as can only assume they are not historians and only make wild assumptions without one single iota of proof.
Looking at Google Earth Bolivia is in the middle of America now the logic is if a Comet destroyed it then that same comet would also destroy other places in its path that's common sense. No one as yet knows how much damage caused and how many other cultures were affected when this happened.
There is a similar report about a similar instance that happened in the Amazons too if you care to read about it.
This is all part of a giant jig saw puzzle that has remained unsolved for centuries, this needs proper scientific study to prove what is becoming to be plainly obvious. How many other races were wiped out by this Comet?
It makes sense to me but how about you? Your thoughts on this please. alan

Idaho Jones:
The case of the Libyan green glass is similiar in respect. There is no impact crater and the glass is laid out in a radial pattern so either an iceball hit or someone was playing with nukes a very long time ago. Tunguska, mass devastation and yet no crater. There appears to be supporting evidence for this effect although its open to interpretation. Some years ago a gentleman in Austrailia found what some believe to be an imense impact crater, and of course the Arizona one. Also the tiny layer of radioactive ash that basically encircles the globe lends credence to these events.
My question would be is there supporting evidence of a dark ages effect? Vegetative changes? Clothing styles changing as temperatures cool? Cultural reference in petroglyph or art? Some of those answers when looked at from a different perspective may prove to be an interesting area of research.
Timelines for this part of the world are in flux as well. Every new find seems to push those cultures farther back. The old guard archaeologists are slowly being overwhelmed by the new generation who are looking harder at alternatives. The new find in the amazon throws a lot of egg on the faces of hardline oldschoolers, who scoffed at the ideas of older civilizations even in the face of native history. Score one for the radicals and the lost city of z.

It just adds a little more authenticity to what we already know.
This is an extract from the Chronicles of the Kings of Britain who observed this Comet as discribed in the writings.
At this time a star of amazing size appeared. It had one beam,
and on the head of the beam was a ball of fire resembling a dragon ;
and from the jaws of the dragon two beams ascended, the one towards
the extremity of France, and the other towards Ireland, subdividing
itself into seven small beams.
1 Uther and all around him, alarmed by such an appearance,
enquired of the learned men what it might portend. Merddyn
bursting into tear.-, exclaimed,
' Sons of Britain, ye have suffered
an irrecoverable loss, ye are widowed of Emrys the Great. But
still ye have a king. Haste thou therefore, Uther, and engage the
enemv for the whole island shall be thine. For it is * thou, Uther,. *
who art signified by this star with the head of a dragon. By the
beam pointing over France is denoted a son of thine, who shall be
great in wealth, and extensive in sway, and by that directed towards
Ireland, a daughter, whose sons and grandsons shall successively
govern the whole.' 2
Thus encouraged, Uther, though he thought it a risque, engaged
the enemy, and after a battle, long doubtful, at length was victorious,
and drove Pasgen and Gillainori to their ships with great slaughter.
After the victory, Uther returned to Winchester to inter his
brother. Thither also came all the archbishops,
3 "
bishops" and
abbots,
4 " and laymen of rank,"
5 of the island ; and Emrys was
buried within the circle of the Heroes, and near the monastery of
Ambri. Those who were present had been invited by Uther, and
by their common consent he was crowned king, the crown of sovereignty
being put on his head.
Uther recollecting the words of Merddyn, when the ceremony
was over, commanded two dragons of gold, and of exquisite workmanship, to be made, in form similar to that which he had seen on
the head of the comet's beam of light. One of these he deposited
in the principal church at Winchester, the other he made his standard
to be carried before his army. From l this circumstance he was
thenceforward called Uther Pendragon, (Ufher of the dragon's head.)
Uther pendragon is a Title not the name of an indiviual writers of the time did not know or were not aware of this Uther is a fictional name it could of been one of many pendragons who were victorious in battel. thats the way it was spelt in those by gone days.
now..... check this out i dont have the link yet but i will get it.
Did an asteroid strike in Australia plunge Anglo-Saxon England into a mini ice-age?

A giant meteorite that broke in two as it crashed off Australia, could have been responsible for a mini-ice age that engulfed Britain in 535AD.
The claim was made by marine geophysicist Dallas Abbott at a meeting of the American Geophysical Union last month.
She found evidence of two substantial impact craters in the Gulf of Carpentaria, off the northern Australian coast.
A veil of dust thrown up by an asteroid 2,000ft across may have caused a mini ice-age in 535AD
In the mid-sixth century, Europe and Asia experienced the most severe and protracted episode of cooling of the last 2,000 years.
Sources from the time refer to widespread crop failures and famines as the unseasonal weather took hold. The Gaelic Irish Annals recorded 'a failure of bread' from 536 to 539AD.
Tree ring analysis by Mike Baillie from Queen's University in Belfast also suggested a cool period. He found the Irish oak showed abnormally little growth in 536 and 542. This phenomenon was noted in trees in Sweden and Finland as well.

The cause, according to historic sources, was a huge dust veil that descended on Earth.
For instance Byzantine historian Procopius recorded in 536AD that 'during this year a most dread portent took place. For the sun gave forth its light without brightness.
'It seemed exceedingly like the sun in eclipse, for the beams it shed were not clear.'
Until now scientists were divided as to whether the dust cloud was caused by a huge volcanic eruption like Krakatoa or a meteorite slamming into Earth.

Britain was divided into a number of warring kingdoms in the 6th century. Sutton Hoo was first used as a burial site at this time
The eruption theory has many supporters due to sulphate deposits found in ice cores from that period.
However, Dr Abbott's research suggests the alternative theory. She found satellite measurements of sea levels pointed to two significant craters off Australia, which were 11miles and 7.4miles wide.
According to National Geographic, she was led to the site by large v-shaped dunes along the coast, which she believes are evidence of a great tsunami triggered by a giant impact.
Dr Abbott calculated that the original object must have been 2,000ft across. She also found that core samples from the area revealed material likely to have been melted and then blasted into the sky.
This could fit quite neatly with a 2004 paper in the journal of Astronomy and Geophysics, which suggested an object around 2,000ft across could have caused a cooling event on the scale of AD535.
Other researchers led by U.S. physicist Mark Boslough have dismissed Dr Abbott's theory.
Dr Boslough said if a large impactor had broken up as it approached Earth's surface, the fragments should have 'essentially behaved as one piece', creating just one crater.
He added that Dr Abbott and others had found 'evidence' of more impact events than astronomer's believe are possible.
Dr Abbott has staunchly defended her work. While she agreed her case wasn't 100 per cent proven she said: 'I think we're getting very close to being able to show there were a lot of impacts in the last 10,000 years.'

What is this guy smoking? One crater? Only if they hit in the same spot which would indicate 1 behind the other. Simple ballistics says thats not gonna happen. All one has to do is look at video of metiors breaking up as they enter atmosphere to see aerodynamics still plays a part as well as friction. They seperate. A 2000 ft asteroid would have been huge at entry.
Perfect description of a meteor breaking apart on entry, I can visualize it perfectly.

I have been in agreement with this theory for quite some time. The volcano theory just doesnt hold up in my opinion. We have recent erruptions to look at and they simply don't put out enough ash to cause a long term effect. If there was an erruption(s) large enough it would be quite noticeable still and the ash would be traceable. There seems to be a resistance to thinking that something falling from the sky that large has happened unless it was millions of years ago. Guess it's just to scary for most folk as there is no way to stop it or tell where it would hit. At least you can move away from a volcano.... ;D

BitburgAggie_7377:
Alan and Idaho, thanks for some truly thought provoking writing here. I could spend a good bit of time thinking about the original post even without the added commentary.....now I'll have to carve out some time from my "honey-do" list to give this some serious thought. The explanation could answer a lot of questions, couldn't it.
BA
