Meltwater Pulse 1B and Civilization

Meltwater Pulse 1B, occurring 11,600 years ago, marks the transition from the Pleistocene to the Holocene epoch. This shift ended an era of glacial cycles and initiated the stable climate of the Holocene, paving the way for the rise of agriculture and early civilizations. Within millennia, these developments laid the groundwork for modern history.

This man knows more than 80 percent of paid salary people who study this stuff there whole lives and this man tops it all with common knowledge and sense

I could listen to this guy for hours. Brilliant, with a lighted, surround-sound, 3D map of history. Uncanny.

Maybe we weren't driving steam cars 15k years ago but we were more advanced than assumed

[davemeeks]

The biggest difference between the glacial and interglacial periods is the trillions of tons of weight on the crust. 😊

[StuartHollingsead]

Can we please all agree that an ice age destroys civilization more than an increase in temperature?

[aaronfreeman]

How are we not still lurching back and forth between glacial and interglacial ages? We still have Glaciers.

Nice visuals on that one guys! ❤
Love you Randall! -333

Fits the 12, 000...pole flip and the ARK-MOON arriving...why bother BEFORE that, timing is everything.

Gogepie 11, 500 years ago, Turkey. Look it up…

We don't think of modern history as 5, 000 or 4500 BC

[WoziPnk]

didn't they find an asteroid impact in Greenland dated to that time frame?

Sea level was 300+ feet lower when millions of cubic miles of water were locked up at the poles.
The only way to transport millions of cubic miles of water from the ocean to the poles is with massive heat.
Massive heat would result in some areas becoming more arid, like Africa.

How do you transport and deposit a million cubic miles of sea water to the poles?
It takes a lot heat to create a lot of precipitation to transport and deposit a million cubic miles of sea water to the poles?
The only way to transport and deposit a million cubic miles of sea water to the poles is with massive Global Warming.
If the winter precipitation exceeds the summer melt the ice sheets grow over thousands of years.
Eventually the ice sheets get so massive they have nowhere to go but south.
You need Global Warming in the tropics and middle latitudes to create the ice sheets in the north.

I don't know why, but I'm supposed to tell you that there is something significant about the number 12, 963####36, 912###

[JohnRoach-jndg]

the entire concept of ice ages must be reviewed. Now, the Snowball Earth is enjoying airtime. I don't see plausible causal agency for such drastic global climatic changes. Is the distance from the sun variable.? How can you see successive epochs in the data.? Louis Agassiz started this around 1850 AD. 50 years later, multiple events were theorized (If 1, why not 2 or 3 or . . . ?). We need a review.

The Younger Dryas is an age, or period, not an Epoch. Epochs are extremely long, time-wise.

[mbni]

Could events like this have been triggered by geomagnetic pole flips?

The Bible puts Adam and Eve at 4, 600 years ago.

[verisimilitudo]

Nothing like a massive challenge to create discipline. ❤

[mizzougrad]

Some cataclysm caused the rapid ice melt 12, 000 yrs ago.

[tmilholin]

Question, where was the North Pole at the height of the Ice Age?
