Younger Dryas on the Joe Rogan Experience

“there's a thing called the Taurid meteor stream, which is 30 million kilometers wide and which envelops the solar system.”

The guest claims the Taurid meteor stream is 30 million kilometers wide and is the debris of a 100km-diameter comet that caused a cataclysmic impact on the North American ice cap 12,800 years ago.

“2007, out comes this hypothesis with mainstream backing by mainstream scientists saying that it looks like there was a series, not just one impact, but multipl…”

Hancock claims the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis (multiple comet fragments striking Earth ~12,800 years ago) has mainstream scientific backing.

“So the Younger Dryas impact hypothesis since 2007, it's been a compelling and thoroughly documented case. It's been put together by more than 60 eminent scient…”

Hancock claims the Younger Dryas impact hypothesis, dating a comet-fragment impact to 12,800 years ago, has been assembled since 2007 by more than 60 eminent scientists.

“there could have been no possibility of anything like a comet impact 12,800 years ago, and that these 63 or 65 scientists who are proposing that are just compl…”

Carlson claims 63 or 65 scientists support the Younger Dryas comet impact hypothesis and that a 2011 'Requiem' paper refuting it has itself been thoroughly refuted.

“60 major scientists published in all the big mainstream journals proposing that the Earth went through an absolutely catastrophic episode between 12,800 and 11…”

Hancock claims 60 mainstream scientists have published papers confirming a catastrophic Earth event 12,800-11,600 years ago that vindicates his lost-civilization theory.

“And they said, oh, 9,000 years ago. Well, do the math. That's in 600 BC. That's 9,000 years before 600 BC. We call that 9,600 BC. That's 11,600 years ago. That…”

Hancock claims Plato's date for the destruction of Atlantis (as told to Solon by Egyptian priests) exactly matches the scientifically-dated end of the Younger Dryas period.

“Between 12,900 and 12,800 years ago, a very dramatic climate episode occurred and that's called the Younger Dryas. The world had been gradually warming up befo…”

Hancock states the Younger Dryas began 12,900 to 12,800 years ago with abrupt cooling and evidence of a six-meter sea level rise at that time.

“The evidence for the Younger Dryas impact is found in what are called impact proxies and that's iridium, nanodiamonds, platinum, melt glass like trinitite, fou…”

Hancock claims Younger Dryas impact proxies such as iridium, nanodiamonds, platinum and melt glass are found across more than 50 million square kilometers of the Earth's surface.
