It was recently announced that researchers from the University of Edinburgh in Scotland had found evidence for the recording of a devastating comet impact more than 13,000 years ago while examining symbols on a decorated stone from Gobekli Tepe called the Vulture Stone. Using computer star-tracking software called Stellarium, the researchers were able to track what the sky looked like in the time Göbekli Tepe was in use. The team matched carvings of animals on the Vulture Stone, which they interpreted as astronomical symbols, to patterns of stars and were able to pinpoint the cataclysmic event caused by the comet fragments hitting the earth to 10950 BC, give or take 250 years.
