glacioisostatic trough reached at least 150—170 m.). In the edge part of the glacier, the ice thickness was also significant – not less than 450—700 m.

      The edge of the glacier

      The answer proposed by the Mahabharata and the Rig Veda in the form of a double effect of tidal disturbance from a space object and the fall of fireballs explains this.

      The question of the time of the final destruction of the Barents Sea glacier is somewhat more complicated. Thus, a number of researchers believe that the final melting of the glacier on the Pechora occurred after 8 thousand BC, which is associated with the descent of a valley lake that existed at the mouth of the Pechora River in 7400—7200 BC and carried out flow through Sula and Indiga into the sea.

      But, firstly: if there was a runoff into the Barents Sea, it means that there was no continuous ice on the sea, and secondly: the river could be blocked both by a residual mountain glacier and as a result of a local tectonic uplift.

      Other researchers believe that evidence of the existence of a glacier at the turn of 7—8 thousand BC there are traces of moraines, as well as the dating of buried vegetation in the layers of the Markhid moraine 7—6.7 thousand BC by C14.

      But, under them lies woody vegetation of 8 thousand BC, that is, at least at this time, a forest grew in the mouth of the Pechora. As indicated in the 20"Paleogeography of Europe over the last hundred thousand years», moraine formations of «dead» ice, covered with sediment on top, in the blades of glaciers reaching 250 meters in height, could exist even covered with vegetation for at least 3.5 thousand years.

      Moraine formations from dead ice

      It is noted that in the postglacial period catastrophic mudflows were widespread even in the valleys, and most of the «moraine» formations 15 km long and 1 km wide were attributed to them. In addition, carbon dating for this time (8 thousand BC) is rejuvenated by 1—1.5 thousand years compared to the present age.

      According to the latest data, the destruction of the Pechora glacier occurred 12.5

      thousand years ago, i.e. in 10—11 thousand BC. Then, in 10—11 thousand BC, a glacier disappeared in Western Siberia, which was part of the same ice sheet with Pechorsky.

      The fact that the events described that according to the Mahabharata after the destruction of Vritra, after a long period of time, in order to get rid of the Danavas, the Northwest Ocean was drained moreover, his condition lasted at least 3 millennia.

      Baltic glacial lake – The Yoldian Sea – Litorin Sea

      Meanwhile: «on the border of the Allered and the Upper Dryas, the Baltic glacial lake itself is formed. In the beginning, it had a limited connection with the ocean, but after a catastrophic descent north of Mount Billingen, the reservoir level dropped by 25—30 meters and ocean waters penetrated the Baltic.

      This event occurred after the formation of the second ridge of Salpausselkä, according to varvametric and radiocarbon data, it dates back to 8.3 thousand BC.

      The invasion of the ocean led to the creation of a brackish basin, known as the Yoldian Sea. It occupied only the central part of the Baltic Basin, southwestern and southern regions were in subaerial conditions. (At the same time, water slept in the reservoirs between the Baltic and the White Sea, connecting these seas). Low sea levels persisted until the litorin transgression in 5.2—4.7 thousand BC, when the warm Litorin Sea arose».

      The findings of the researchers, according to which a glacier similar to the Pechora and Barents Sea could not melt, appear to be extremely interesting.

      Having reached the maximum, the glacier in the modern climate would have been melting for at least 50 thousand years (that is, we would still have the opportunity to observe ice sheets throughout the north). At temperatures 2° C higher than modern ones (i.e., the Holocene optimum), it would melt for 10 thousand years, while such temperatures should have persisted above the glacier itself during the ice age. With the actual temperature increase at the end of the Ice Age by 5—6° C from the Valdai maximum, the glacier would remain stable, since a further increase in temperatures would not allow the presence of a thick ice sheet, and melting would compensate for the mass gain due to increased precipitation. Thus, the Pechora and Barents Sea glaciers could not melt by themselves.

      The only possibility of melting was that the system had to be brought out of stability by an external influence, moreover, long enough (which is not observed), or powerful enough (which is observed both according to sources and according to paleogeography data). We should be glad that the asteroid (satellite) fell so successfully that it destroyed the glacier, because if it got into a plastic ice mass capable of absorbing the energy of an impact, but into the ocean or on land, the consequences for humanity could be extremely unfavorable. After all, a piece of a comet with a diameter of 5 km. was able to cause a catastrophe even on Jupiter (the impact power reached 1 trillion Hiroshim), what can we say about the Earth.

      The ice sheet in the Northern Hemisphere has melted very quickly, according to information obtained from drilling ice in Greenland, for a period of less than a year, maybe for months or days. Sure, water flows resulting from this flood, rushing south (along the valleys of the Volga, Don, Dnieper, Mississippi) on their way inflicted huge damage on the ecosystem, but, nevertheless, they created a modern world. The starting point of this process is described in the Rig Veda and Mahabharata. And in the reality of these observations there is no doubt.

      Fall of the comet on Jupiter

      It is believed that the extinction of the dinosaurs caused by the fall of the comet. For an earlier time, the Sudbury Crater in Canada is 300 km wide and 1.85 billion years old.

      The site of a possible comet collision was discovered, a depression near Australia, 250 km away diameter. It has been named the Bedu Crater, and its appearance coincides with the mass extinction 250 million ago. Then 90 percent of life on Earth disappeared. High levels of helium-3 were found in sediments from the Permian extinction. One of the largest rises in the level of helium-3 in the Quaternary period occurred 13.5 thousand years ago. Then all over the world the content of radiocarbon increased. Although the largest radiocarbon anomaly dates back to 41 thousand years ago.

      Sudbury Crater

      13.5 thousand years ago, the temperature in Greenland rose by seventeen degrees in just a few years, and the huge continental ice caps began to melt, earlier the glacier alternately advanced and retreated within the limits of its maximum advance, after that time it quickly retreated. At the end of the last ice age, something extraordinary happened that had not happened in millions of years.

      In those days, 35 species of mammals and 19 species of birds suddenly died.

      The biggest mystery is that mammoths, mastodons, American camels, American horses and saber-toothed tigers died out at the same time, the mass extinction of animals occurred throughout the Northern Hemisphere and partially in South America.
