PROOF of the Younger Dryas catastrophe?!

George Catlin spoke with over 100 tribes across The Americas and they all have similar flood stories. Coincidence? Taken from European Missionairies? Or did they too experience a great flood?

That old scientist guy who is on Joe Rogan a lot said that about 12, 000 years ago, there was probably a massive impact of meteors which left a defined layer of Iridium in the soil (a mineral found commonly in space, but not on Earth). (This is called the "Younger Dryas Impact Theory").. Also, scientists say that a Great Flood can be documented to have happened about 12, 000 years ago (due to the massive sea level rise seen in the layers of ancient stone). Lastly, Plato wrote about Atlantis being destroyed by a flood because a previous Ancestor of his went to Egypt and learned this story around 1, 000 B.C. The Egyptians told Plato's Ancestor at that time that the flood happened about 9, 000 years before then. If u add 9, 000 years to 3, 000 years ago (1, 000 B.C.), u get 12, 000 years ago (the same time as the massive Iridium deposits and sea level rise related to that time period).

"They just heard those stories from missionaries and grafted them into their traditions." That's got to be one of the most condescending, insulting things toward Native culture.

Rivers all around the world have the capacity to flood. Since most civilisations settled next to rivers, it is a very good possibility that many of them would have flood stories. Add into rising sea levels and other natural disasters such as tsunamis or even hurricanes or typhoons, which can move large bodies of water, and there you have many flood myths from ancient people's.

Civilizations choosing to build their towns by water should make these coincidences obvious

There is a tribe deep in the jungle of the Philippines, the Bugkalots, who were headhunters (former), they also told of a similar great flood.

When thinking about this it’s important to remember that most early civilizations lived in flood planes because of easy access to food, water & agriculture. Most early civilizations likely experienced large regional floods in there history

There was a flood in Pakistan last year, if there wasn’t mass, modern communication, it would seem that the whole world was covered in water which, in effect it was.

My grandad used to talk about the same thing I was brought up believing in this way of thinking ❤❤❤

The emerald tablets even says Thoth and his crew had to restart civilization all over the ENTIRE planet because all but some patches flooded and so much was lost and all who were left were some lucky ones who were in the right places at the right times. They lost everything, and after a few generations, they became hunter gatherers again out of necessity. So thoth and the gang was sent by his dad to go teach these people how to be a civilization again. They tried to attack him at first but he stopped them from doing that with some kind of "vibration" weapon. He wrote that they groveled at his feet and tried to warship him as a god, but he said no, and that he was the son of Atlantis and the son of man, and basically that he was just trying help them rebuild what they once had.

Wait wait wait. The “amazing correlation” is that “there was a great flood” and the survivors used a large boat to escape the impending catastrophe? What else would you say people did to escape a flood?
This is not evidence of a global flood scenario that is retained in the collective cultural memory of mankind. It’s merely how any person would describe escaping any sort of water-borne disaster.

I'm from the Mandan Tribe. Our story is that LoneMan Created a Wall around our village and that how we survived. Always been in North American

Theres a historical native storie of tying the canoes to the tops of the evergreens on the coast of Washington. To prepare for the great wave caused by the thunderbird coming from mt rainer and flying out to fight the great orca god. (We now believe was last cascadia fault line rupture).

❤❤Thanks for sharing this knowledge.😊😊

They talk about the end of the Iceage. Water went up close to 50 m drowning willages and isolating people.

what i find insane: my american indian grandmother who was a Catholic, teaching me the way of the buffalo, which has been the way of our people for 15, 000 years. Between the Bible and it's 6, 000 years and the Wampanoag's 15, 000 years that is a difference of 9, 000 years

Not going to say its fact but i personally believe water levels reached the cumberland plateau and one time. I live on the western edge in kentucky and the features look as if the lowlands where underwater. I also believe the receding waters carved out mammoth cave the longest system in the world. It begins on the edge of the plateau and supposedly was carved by flowing ground water to the western lowlands of the state and is still carving more caves to this day.

The geological evidence in the Scablands is pretty compelling that "something " happened, probably involving a LOT of water. We just have not done enough research into that area

Imagine being a person on the eastern carolina seaboard and looking up at the incoming mountains of ice falling from the sky from the dryer impact sites in canada…..then nothing remains where you were just standing except the newly formed carolina bays.

The world was very different in the past and floods a super common event in history. The assumption that every culture on earth experienced the exact same flood means either a global event occurred, like a meteor strike or an earthquake that caused tsunamis around the world or, a bunch of smaller localized events that were embellished over time, like the events around glacial lake Missoula (people were here for this one). Which are not that uncommon, they'd have happened in multiple places all over the world. they have a name, Jökulhlaupe.
There are numerous reasons why people may have reported floods there is no reason to assume supernatural origins when nature processes can do it just as well.

I am an indigenous american a member of the Diné, my father was a silversmith and we traveled across the United States to indigenous peoples gatherings to sell his art. I inquired about stories, spoken word histories and origin beliefs and ive not once been told shit about a great canoe. A fairly common theme is coming from a land of darkness into the light. This guy accuses academics of being reductionists but most tribes do have stories about "great catastrophies" a few have to do with mass destruction by water, some by fire, some by ice. The Diné speak of a global catastrophe which made surviving on the surface impossible and the Ant people came from below the surface of the earth and saved our people from doom by inviting us to live among them in their subterranian world of tunnels and darkness. They said when it was safe to return to the surface many were blinded by their first glimpse of sunlight because they had adapted to the darkness, having been living among the Ant people for a long, long time. If the catastrophe was a flood the tunnels would have offered no protection. This guy reduces all these varied and generally unique stories of survival against all odds to being like the great flood 'catastrophies' when most share no traits other than great loss of life. Charlatan.
