The cliché used by people many times is to nuke a nation they don't like and make it a Glass Parking Lot then go over with Glass Cleaner and Clean it...well....did God kind of nuke the earth (with meteors to bust open the deep and bust apart the continents) and in the process formed a bit of Glass? Then , shall we say, wash it?.....hmmm...
... the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up...
Genesis 7:11
"Today, the archaeological site of Abu Hureyra is deep underwater, covered by Syria's largest lake, Lake Assad.
Amidst flint tools, bones, and hut-like structures, the researchers found something else: spherical beads of glass called meltglass spherules, the likes of which form in extremely hot, high-energy events, usually associated with cosmic collisions involving things like asteroids and comets impacting into planets.
For years, researchers have postulated that the existence of these tiny baubles strewn throughout Abu Hureyra is evidence ....of what's known as the Younger Dryas impact hypothesis: the contention that a disintegrating comet or asteroid struck Earth, showering four separate continents in a fiery rain of destruction so intense, it triggered a wave of extinctions.
"Our new discoveries represent much more powerful evidence for very high temperatures that could only be associated with a cosmic impact," says retired geologist James Kennett.
In new analyses examining the geochemical composition and structure of the village's ancient meltglass formations, the researchers found that the melted grains of quartz, chromferide, and magnetite in the glass would have required exposure to temperatures in excess of 1,720 °C/3,128°F, while some of the material in the glass most likely reached over 2,600 °C/4,712°F."
