William sent in this link. A Japanese research team claims the Ancient Assyrians referred to a solar storm even between 679 and 655BC as a cuneiform tablets mention an unusual red sky. It would indeed be unusual to see aurorae that far south which means a powerful CME was involved, overloading the ionosphere - see https://phys.org/news/2019-10-solar-storm-surveys-ancient-assyrian.html ... The Book of Maccabees also appears to refer to aurora phenomena - in the second century BC.

Another good one from https://notrickszone.com/2019/10/10/during-the-last-ice-age-190-ppm-co2-... ... during the Late Glacial Maximum horses grazed in a forested landscape somewhat warmer than today's Arctic Alaska. In modern times the North Slope in Alaska, now north of the Arctic Circle, has a mossy tundra terrain and an absence of trees. Some 8 to 9000 years ago, the same region had both trees and many animal species that today lie 100s of km to the south.

At https://cosmictusk.com/uncharted-x-younger-dryas-religious-myth/ ... which is of course a fascinating subject that attracted a good deal of people to the ideas of Velikovsky. What role does religion have in catastrophic events - supplication to a sky deity via ritual, recitation, and hymns etc. Even re-enactments of catastrophic events in an attempt to understand them - and why deity may have demanded the lives of so many humans (and animals).

We've heard a lot about the Golden Ratio in cosmic terms but now we have the golden ratio in human skulls - see https://archaeologynewsnetwork.blogspot.com/2019/10/golden-ratio-observe... ... Researchers at John Hopkins University have compared 100 human skulls with 70 animal skulls. They found the human skulls are remarkably close to the golden ratio, whereas the skulls of dogs, monkeys, rabbits, lions and tigers are not. However, the animal skulls do have unique ratios that appear to approach that of the golden ratio.
