#2 – Civilization and the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis

In today’s episode we’re going to dive into the origins of human civilization. We start the show off walking through the origins of homo sapiens and human civilization through the lens of the conventional  understanding. After reviewing what we’ve been taught our whole lives, we start bringing up some of the issues with this story. We introduce the alternate theory of human civilization which is that human civilization goes back way before the ice age. We present some arguments that may support this claim and then we’re left with a big question. If this isn’t our first go at civilization, where is all the evidence of a previous civilization?To address this question we spend the second half of the show reviewing a scientific paper published by the Comet Research Group in PNAS titled “Evidence for an Extraterrestrial Impact 12,900 Years Ago That Contributed to the Megafaunal Extinctions and the Younger Dryas Cooling.” This article does a great job covering the various evidence for the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis. After we finish the article we discuss the ramifications and the terrifying reality for the people who lived at the time.Topics include dark matter and dark energy. We spend some time talking about the mysteries of gravity, quantum physics and the theories that try to combine them together into a grand “theory of everything.” We talk about consciousness, teleportation and reincarnation. We have fun trying out some different illusions to show how crazy the brain is. We compare hard sciences to soft sciences and then discuss fields like psychology and egyptology. We lament over all the deliberately destroyed knowledge. We round out the episode discussing the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis and the replication crisis in science.

In this video he goes over the Egyptian stone vases and an article analyzing the vases geometry mathematically. Please give Ben a view and a subscribe if you enjoy his content. He has a wealth of great video on this and other topics related to ancient civilizations.

Comet Research Group paper published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Science (PNAS)Comet Research GroupThe Comet Research Group is a partnering of over 63 scientists from 55 universities in 16 countries who are investigating the likely comet impact event 12,900 years ago. Their website contains a great simple explanation as well as links to hundreds of scientific papers on the topic.We found the paper discussed on today’s episode on their website.
