You should note that charcoal burning and pollen alteration
was noted in the Mesolithic/Neolithic setting in estonia.

Sorry this quote from the above linked page was intended.

''Recent studies has given new information of devastation of the
impact. Findings from the Piila revealed new information that the
impact sweep and burn down trees in so large area that total pollen
influx and especially tree pollen influx were distorted. The impact
layer has extensive layer of charcoal and tree stumps point out that
forest fires ignited by the impact spread over the Piila which is over
6 km away from craters.''

I've long argued that such impacts have occurred within historical
times. I've also argued that while their consequences have appeared in
history and mythology, they have not been recognised for the simple
reason that people have not been thinking in those terms. In that
light I have to say that you have a sympathetic reader of the site you
have cited - except for the fact that I have always thought the Kaali
impact was significantly older than the 2400 years the site suggests.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaali_crater for more typical dating.

There has been quite some evidence for an impact in southern Germany in the
early iron age, that would be about the same time.

And as all lovers of Asterix and Obelix know, people at the time were afraid
of only one thing, that heaven would collaps on their heads.


Would it have looked like this,,,when heaven came down ;-)
