A solar storm 500x stronger than any in modern history may have erased a civilization—and no one saw it coming.
What really caused the Younger Dryas? For years, we've blamed comets and mystery impacts—but what if the real suspect never touched the Earth? In this episode of Divergent Files, we investigate a massive solar superstorm that struck Earth in 12,350 BC, unleashing radiation 500 times stronger than anything we've recorded.
Buried in ancient tree rings and ice cores, this event left no crater... but it may have ended a civilization, triggered climate collapse, and burned itself into ancient mythology.
With peer-reviewed science from the University of Oulu, new carbon-14 and beryllium-10 data, and global mythological parallels, we piece together a chilling timeline of a cosmic trauma we've forgotten—and why it could happen again.
This isn't just ancient history—it's a countdown. If the Sun did it once, it can do it again. And next time, we won’t have time to write a myth.
