Just something interesting I happened to watch during the week.
There is no sound track on this.
The Alvarez hypothesis posits that the mass extinction of the non-avian dinosaurs and many other living things during the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event was caused by the impact of a large asteroid on the Earth. Prior to 2013, it was commonly cited as having happened about 65 million years ago, but Renne and colleagues (2013) gave an updated value of 66 million years.[1] Evidence indicates that the asteroid fell in the Yucatán Peninsula, at Chicxulub, Mexico. The hypothesis is named after the father-and-son team of scientists Luis and Walter Alvarez, who first suggested it in 1980. Shortly afterwards, and independently, the same was suggested by Dutch paleontologist Jan Smit.[2]
Below is a model of what 'possibly' happened........

ReplyDeleteForced my family into a visit to Chichén Itzá during my one and only cruz years ago, well worth it. Hard to fathom them doing their thing before Christ did his thing.
ReplyDeleteI read somewhere when I didn’t have an exciting life (1) that the reason the blast caused so much damage worldwide was it struck a thick layer of sulfur-rich rock about 100’ or so beneath the sea bed.
