Does any scientific research support the idea of an asteroid impact?
Zecharia Sitchin in The Twelth Planet explores the evidence for the deluge of 12,500 to 13,000 years ago being caused by the unusual passage of a twelfth body of our solar system. Ancient Akkadian texts, likely copies of Sumerian originals, describe how the Age of Leo was accompanied by the sudden appearance in the sky of a bright, fast approaching heavenly body called the ‘Lord whose shining crown with terror is laden’ (cf. X.72). Sitchen believes a planet or large comet may circle our sun in a highly eccentric orbit outside the ecliptic plane of Earth and the other planets. This would account for certain known but inexplicable anomalies in the orbits of the outer planets, especially Uranus and Neptune. In ‘The Mars Mystery’ Graham Hancock presents the following scenario: 20,000 year ago a giant comet approaches too close to Mars, fragmentation occurs, devastates Mars, continues in orbit. 13,000 to 12,000 years ago – major bombardment of the Earth as comet passes close to earth, Glaci
