The Younger Dryas impact hypothesis (YDIH) proposes that the onset of the Younger Dryas (YD) cool period at the end of the Last Glacial Period, around 12,900 years ago was the result of some kind of cosmic event with specific details varying between publications. [1]: Sec 1 The hypothesis is widely rejected by relevant experts.
Persian Gulf Flood (24,000 to 14,000 years ago, or 12000 to 10000 years ago) Flooding of this area scattered peoples to both sides of the gulf depression. It was an ...
The flood hypothesis hinges on the geomorphology of the Bosporus since the end of the glacial age. [20] The Black Sea area has been isolated and reconnected many times during the last 500,000 years. [21] Opponents of the deluge hypothesis point to clues that water was flowing out of the Black Sea basin as late as 15,000 years ago. [22]

The Younger Dryas (YD, Greenland Stadial GS-1) [2] was a period in Earth's geologic history that occurred circa 12,900 to 11,700 years Before Present (BP). [3] It is primarily known for the sudden or "abrupt" cooling in the Northern Hemisphere, when the North Atlantic Ocean cooled and annual air temperatures decreased by ~3 °C (5.4 °F) over North America, 2–6 °C (3.6–10.8 °F) in Europe ...
The Lianhua’ao Island site and its weathered tombs were at least 12,000 years old, archaeologists said in the release. Artifacts uncovered with the tombs. The site, however, was also inhabited ...

During the last deglaciation that followed the end of the Last Glacial Maximum, geologists estimate that a cycle of flooding and reformation of the lake lasted an average of 55 years and that the floods occurred several times over the 2,000 years between 15,000 and 13,000 years ago.
