* "Why Halley's Comet May Be Linked to Famine 1,500 Years Ago" (2013-12-18, livescience.com/42048-halleys-comet-linked-to-ancient-famine.html) [archive.is/0stRO] [begin excerpt]: A piece of the famous Halley's comet likely slammed into Earth in A.D. 536, blasting so much dust into the atmosphere that the planet cooled considerably, a new study suggests. This dramatic climate shift is linked to drought and famine around the world, which may have made humanity more susceptible to "Justinian's plague" in A.D. 541-542 — the first recorded emergence of the Black Death in Europe.
The new results come from an analysis of Greenland ice that was laid down between A.D. 533 and 540. The ice cores record large amounts of atmospheric dust during this seven-year period, not all of it originating on Earth. [Photos of Halley's Comet Through History]
"I have all this extraterrestrial stuff in my ice core," study leader Dallas Abbott, of Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, told LiveScience here last week at the annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union.
Certain characteristics, such as high levels of tin, identify a comet as the origin of the alien dust, Abbott said. And the stuff was deposited during the Northern Hemisphere spring, suggesting that it came from the Eta Aquarid meteor shower — material shed by Halley's comet that Earth plows through every April-May.
The Eta Aquarid dust may be responsible for a period of mild cooling in 533, Abbott said, but it alone cannot explain the global dimming event of 536-537, during which the planet may have cooled by as much as 5.4 degrees Fahrenheit (3 degrees Celsius). For that, something more dramatic is required.
Ice core data record evidence of a volcanic eruption in 536, but it almost certainly wasn't big enough to change the climate so dramatically, Abbott said.
"There was, I think, a small volcanic effect," she said. "But I think the major thing is that something hit the ocean."
She and her colleagues have found circumstantial evidence of such an impact. The Greenland ice cores contain fossils of tiny tropical marine organisms — specifically, certain species of diatoms and silicoflagellates.
An extraterrestrial impact in the tropical ocean likely blasted these little low-latitude organisms all the way to chilly Greenland, researchers said. And Abbott believes the object responsible was once a piece of Halley's comet. [end excerpt]

- [comment]: The comet that destroyed Britain came from north to south and split into three pieces around north central England near Hadrian's wall. A smaller piece destroyed Britain, Ireland was also affected. The main impacts were actually in Brazil and another hit Bolivia and Mexico was also affected.
Rome heavily and actively edited out this history from written record. Justinian declared it heresy to suggest that heavenly bodies fell from the sky and refused to send aid, which in turn caused mass starvation and a mad max type dystonia in the British Islands. The Dark Ages followed.
Nevertheless some written accounts did survive, French and Norwegian in particular...The Norwegian accounts being beyond papal reach. It is estimated that over 2 million died in the British isles alone, and countless millions died indirectly across the globe. The accounts say that it was like daylight in the dead of night as Britain burned, and that was from accounts across the channel and Norway. A true apocalypse.
- [comment]: A comet was said to have virtually wiped out the thriving society in post Roman Britain. That was in 562 AD and taking into account the timescale it’s plausible that further debris was still hitting earth. Now dismissed as just legendary, the comet/asteroid passed over the British isles and most likely made landfall in Bolivia. It left the “badlands “ which were uninhabitable for over a decade and is clearly referred to in contemporary writings in France.
If so the Saxons merely walked into land in recovery and uninhabited. Any survivors would have been in no position to repeal such an influx of Saxon settlers.
More importantly it rewrites “dark age” history of Britain and should be investigated properly, not merely dismissed by archaeologists who seem to just want to ignore it.

* "Paracas Long Skull" (2020-12-05, facebook.com/groups/TheHistoryoftheancientWorld/permalink/2824007507876635/) [archive.is/bbj79]:
During the 1920 s, Peruvian archaeologist Julio Tello discovered a series of graves in Paracas, Peru. The contents of the tomb left specialists perplexed as countless elongated skulls recovered from graves. Since then, more elongated skulls have been found in the region, raising numerous questions about these mysterious people.
For more than five years, experts like Brien Foerster have tried to solve the mystery behind the elongated skulls. Although much progress has been made in their understanding, the journey has been very difficult.
After countless studies and research, we began to discover more about these mysterious skulls. Some DNA analysis showed that the elongation present in Paracas skull was not the result of artificial skull deformation, but genetics. Some of Paracas skulls have a cranial volume that is up to 25 % larger and 60 % heavier than conventional human skulls. While artificial head deformation can change the shape of the skull, it cannot change its volume. But there's not all left, studies conducted on enigmatic elongated skulls have revealed that they were not native to the region possibly migrated from Eurasia more than 2500 years ago.
More questions than answers...

Notice how the bottom (oldest) layer is by far the most precise and the most technologically advanced in its construction. A later civilization (The Tawantinsuyo of the Inca Kings) attempted to imitate and continue the construction, followed by an even later one (The European's empire).
