The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process.

Although I know nothing about the book, the IP may be the author given their location. It keeps being spammed. Doug Weller talk 17:24, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Doug Weller:I agree with you that the IP may be the author given their location. There is a short description of this book in the Los Angeles Public Library's online catalogue. The summary reads:

"In this work, the author sets forth a theory that the protohistorical world consisted of one global civilization that had an advanced technology. 12,000 years ago this global civilization was destroyed by a cataclysmic, worldwide flood."

Otherwise, sounds like the same old fringe pseudoarcheology about Tiwanaku. Paul H. (talk) 17:38, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Great catch. Doug Weller talk 18:19, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure you're aware, but the Earth Impact Database has a comprehensive list of impact deposits (which are easily filtered for). While some of these probably represent already known impacts (e.g. "Late Triassic spherule" from England and the Miocene "Central European strewn field") others probably warrant being added to the list (after being checked that they don't represent already listed impacts of course).

Thanks for the heads up. - I haven't seen this list. Paul H. (talk) 00:43, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
