A meteorite
It seems that million years ago, the sky would have fallen on us!
In fact, 150 million years ago, a meteorite of approximately 1.25 mile broad would have entered in collision with the ground, traveling at a speed of 18,600 miles per hour. This accident would have taken place in the Arctic. The impact of this collision would then have involved intense tidal waves which would have been spread to Canada and in Russia. This collision would have released remains in the Earth's atmosphere, thus obscuring the planet. It is in fact what reveals a study of experts on the matter published in 1999 in the Gemini magazine of the Institute of Research of the town of Trondheim, in Norway.
A team of Norwegian scientist discovered this crater when they were studying out the cartography of the oceanic funds, 125 miles north of Norway. Samples of the crater taken in August 1999 show how the quartz grains were deformed by the impact. Iridium traces, a rare element on the ground, were also detected.
This crater was baptized Mjoelnir, the name of the mythical hammer which Thor held, the Scandinavian god of the thunder.
If this event happened once, it can still happen. One can easily associate the three days of darkness prophesied by many prophets to an event of the kind.
It is particular how our scientists are currently assembling the parts of an immense historical headache whose overall vision had been perceived a long time before them by people we then categorized of eccentrics!
The Gallic ones were perhaps right to be afraid of the sky falling on their head!
