Not directly related but I recall watching a "documentary" on Discovery where this guy claimed that several monuments across the globe all matched up star patterns and similar astrological events from around 12k years ago IIRC.
What I recall best was some pyramids ligning up with how the stars would have been back around that time, but they've since drifted apart. He also talked about Angkor Wat and some in South Americas.
My memory is very fuzzy as this was a casual watch over a decade ago, so I don't recall the name of the guy or if the speculation had a name. I assumed it was pretty out there, though of course as presented it sounded compelling.

- magicalhippo 3y agoThanks, that must be the guy. His 10500 BC lines up with 12k years ago, but yeah...
- dotnet00 3y agoAre you maybe thinking of Ancient Aliens? I remember an episode like that, IIRC it also had some crazier claims like pyramid complexes resembling calculator circuit boards.
- magicalhippo 3y agoCan't recall, though from what I recall it wasn't that out there. What I do recall was that the main point was that these monuments were linked to something astrological, be it stars, equinoxes or similar, "that the same time" some 12k years ago. That's why I thought of it in this context. If it were true, and the timing lining up with these big animals going away, did something big happen 12k years ago? Of course, not taking some random guy on Discovery's word for it. But fun coincidence to think about.
- ceejayoz 3y ago> If it were true, and the timing lining up with these big animals going away, did something big happen 12k years ago? An ice age ended, and humans invented agriculture. Combined, these are very big things for the world. Magic/aliens not required.
- magicalhippo 3y agoYeah wasn't suggesting aliens by any means.
- angiosperm 3y agoAbsolutely something big happened 12800 years ago: a massive comet strike that melted much of the North American ice sheet and started continent-wide wildfires. The record is seen unambiguously in a spike of massively elevated platinum dust, and sulfur from fires, frozen into a layer of polar ice. 30+ genera of, mostly, big mammals went extinct suddenly, along with the Clovis culture. The big remaining mystery is what happened 1200 years later to end the Younger Dryas cold spell.
