Question – 98
You said this
comet-hit was one of the causes for Piora Oscillation? What changes were
noticed globally by this comet hit / Piora oscillation?
Answer:
The following are some of the events taken
from the paleoclimatic data that caused global floods around the year 3136 BCE.
1. The Belfast
tree ring chronology set the onset of cold weather at 3150 BCE (suggesting cold
weather in Ireland and Britain, and NW Europe in general). This is just 14
years earlier that the comet-hit date.
2. The Greenland ice cores have an acid spike at
3150 BCE and a sulphate spike also in 3250 BCC, together with a methane trough.
This could be the signature of a volcano or of a cosmic event. The temperature drop
was found to coincide with 3136 BCE of a comet-hit expressed variously in the
Mahābhārata.
3. In Germany,
there was an increase in swamp oak (or bog oak in Irish terminology) suggesting
water logging (as in Ireland and Britain) and possibly evidence of heavy
flooding with the jet stream much further to the south than normal. The
flooding and rains are scientifically associated with cosmic impact.
4. Similar water logging is detected for a brief
period around this date.
5. In Morocco
there was a decline in oaks (as a result of declining rainfall, right across
the Sahara region).
6. The Nile
flooded - giving rise to the myth of the inundation (perpetuated thereafter by
the annual flooding event fueled by winter rains on the Ethiopian Highlands).
7. Glaciers advanced in the Alps suddenly for
the first time in the Holocene. The advancement of the glacier in a place
called Piora in Switzerland was first detected, thereby giving the name ‘Piora
Oscillation’ to this phenomenon.
8. Sudden spike in cold climate in Andes of
Peru.
9. Climate change
found in Kenya, East Africa, Columbian Highlands and even Australia.
10. There was a change in the monsoon track
rendering the Sahara a desert and displacing people.
11. Dead Sea level rose by 300 feet.
