He's pointing to something most people overlook: why did virtually every ancient culture react to comets with such visceral fear? NASA's own documentation acknowledges that comets were universally seen as harbingers of doom, menaces from the heavens, omens of catastrophe. This wasn't superstition isolated to one region or one civilization. This was global. Egyptian records, Babylonian tablets, Chinese chronicles, Mesoamerican codices: all of them treated comets as existential threats. So the question becomes, what did they know that we've forgotten? What events in deep history might have conditioned humanity to associate these objects with genuine catastrophe? If you take the oral traditions seriously, if you look at the geological evidence for cosmic impacts during the Younger Dryas and other periods, a pattern starts to emerge. These weren't irrational fears. They were the inherited memory of real events.
