Gobekli Tepe and the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis

There are an interesting series of blog posts about various ideas about Gobekli Tepe, its archaeology, and an alleged association with the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis on the Lateral Truth blog. They include:

The above blogs are about:
Sweatman, M.B. and Tsikritsis, D., 2017. Decoding Göbekli Tepe with archaeoastronomy: What does the fox say?. Mediterranean Archaeology & Archaeometry, 17(1)., 233-250.

In the same journal, Mediterranean Archaeology and Archaeometry, another paper about a fringe version of a Younger Dryas impact senario is published. The paper is:

Jaye, M., 2019. The flooding of the Mediterranean basin at the Younger–Dryas boundary. Mediterranean Archaeology and Archaeometry, 19(1), 71–83.

As previously mentioned, Rebbeca Bradley also commented on Michael Jaye’s unique ideas about an Younger Dryas impact causing a truly global flood in:

Carl Feagans also published a post on his blog about Micheal Jaye’s paper on the Global World-wide Flood and the Younger Dryas Impact. It is:
