The Holocene epoch, long pegged at ten thousand years, has been refined to eleven thousand six hundred years, a date that coincides precisely with the end of the Younger Dryas period. This is not coincidental. The evidence suggests that direct cosmic impacts have influenced not just mass extinctions and the emergence of new life forms, but the collapse and resurgence of advanced societies throughout Earth's history. When we align the geological record with this revised chronology, patterns emerge that challenge conventional narratives about gradual climate change and steady cultural development. The question becomes: how many times has this cycle repeated, and what does that mean for our current interglacial period?
