There’s currently controversial archaeological evidence for a younger dryas (12,900 years ago) meteorite impact which caused mass global cooling, though thats one of several theories. There’s also speculation and some small amount of material evidence that a meteorite airburst the middle east/levant[1] maybe leading to myths of cataclysm like Sodom. The 1908 blast at Tunguska in Siberia is now widely regarded as a result of a cosmic airbust. There seems to be a growing body of evidence that large, city-destroying asteroids are actually quite frequent in geological terms. The odds of hitting an actual city are low, but I don’t like those odds [1] https://www.livescience.com/64179-ancient-cosmic-airburst-middle-east.html https://www.livescience.com/64179-ancient-cosmic-airburst-mi...
