12 900 years ago exploded comet over North America and caused
the extinction of many species, including mammals, and almost the entire population
of prehistoric people. According to scientists from universities in Oregon and California, the end
of prehistoric people was associated with the end of the Ice Age,
the fatal collision with a comet, scientists have reported previously. The experts confirmed this theory. The proof is the findings of miniature diamonds only in the geological layers of the period described, and in six
locations in the U.S. and Canada. Diamonds are created at a high temperature and
pressure induced by space conflicts. Scientists believe that
comet explosion changed the direction of ocean circulation and thus caused the onset of
cool era, which hit the whole planet and lasted 1,300 years. In North
America had a massive impact on the explosion of melting glaciers, which covered an area
Great Lakes Region.
Population of eartch was considerably reduced and some species died out. In this case for example mammoths and many mammals. This happened millions years ago - dinosaurs and now we have proof, that 12900 years ago comet hit the earth as well.
