we come to the conclusion of Graham Hancocks work 'America before: The Key to Earth’s Lost Civilization'. I find his conclusions very compelling. The tale of Adam and Eve never worked for me in conjunction with a 'Fall of Man'. What I could see happening is the following,and the reason for the suppression is very obvious.Lets say Hancock is right,that a very advanced civilization came to be in the America's that was totally cut off from the known world. Now lets say that this civilization unlocked keys to understanding that allowed them to build ships that allowed them to explore space and possibly inhabit other planets(Mars comes to mind).when you combine that speculation with the 'myths' of Atlantis, who is to say Atlantis went anywhere? Something cosmic went down,and North America was seriously laid to waste, some 12,800 years ago. I look around and the arrogance sure seems to be red lining big time from here,it occurs to me that some of us are time travelers sent to this time in hopes of stopping the arrogant bunch from repeating a grave error in judgment...

...UTTERLY HORRIFIC, TROUBLING, AND CONFUSING events took place at the onset of the Younger Dryas, and more than a decade under the scientific spotlight has repeatedly confirmed that the best explanation of all the evidence is that the earth underwent a series of interactions with the remnants of the disintegrating giant comet that spawned the Taurid meteor stream. These encounters are thought to have reached a peak 12,822 years ago but were sustained over a span of 21 years beginning 12,836 years ago and ending 12,815 years ago. There were other episodes of bombardment around the time of the Younger Dryas onset, but this was the worst.

Perhaps it was not a comet after all. Perhaps in the next decade some other even more compelling theory with even more evidence to back it up will be advanced—or perhaps some decisive new discovery will be made that vindicates one of the existing non impact theories. Until that time, however, the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis continues to make complete sense to me and to a great many scientists, and its 21-year window of maximum devastation, peaking around 12,822 years ago, deserves special attention.

Archaeological evidence from this period is scarce in North America, but what there is suggests that widely scattered populations of Native American hunter-gatherers were badly mauled at the Younger Dryas onset. Amid indications of sudden population collapses, many previously inhabited areas were abandoned entirely, as we saw in chapter 26, with no return for hundreds of years. Clovis ceased to exist—an entire vibrant, widely distributed culture obliterated—but other humans survived and bounced back, something our species has a talent for. I’d stayed in touch with Al Goodyear since Topper and he confirmed that in his view, while there was evidence for a “possible demographic crash/depression,” there had been no “extermination post Clovis.”1

We shouldn’t be surprised.

Hunter-gatherers are hard to exterminate!
