re: It’s pretty much fact the earth flooded around 12,000 years ago (younger dryas)

I love this guy.

Put a lecture of his on to fall asleep. His voice and the subject matter are relaxing. On top of being very interesting.

Edt: He is also a Top5 Rogan guest for me.

At the risk of feeding the troll, there is a small effect of the Earth's rotation on its axis on the acceleration due to gravity.

Same as the last map. Why would a flood cause all those landmasses to appear?

His maps are assuming some major geologic changes due to an asteroid impact.

Sounds like a reason to make margaritas and have a party

Earth changes, brah.

I didn’t draw the thing but you outta know.

On the bright side the land area sees about the same.

Yeah. It’s not like a bunch water appears. It’s a redistribution.

Perhaps the earth actually orbited on a different axis (and revolved around the sun much faster) before the comet hit us 13,000 years ago.
This would explain 2 things:
1. People across all cultures lived several hundred years (because of the increased revolution)
2. Places like Antarctica being tropical
What if the comet of the younger dryas changes the revolution speed and the orbital axis? This would also explain how ancient civilizations could move large thousand ton blocks. During the night, the increased revolution speed lead to lighter gravity.

this is all very wrong.
Yes, there is growing evidence that a celestial impact led to the Younger Dryas, an abrupt global cooling about 12,000 years ago that lasted a few centuries.
But the Younger Dryas did not include global flooding... it led to an increase in glaciation.
And an impact would not have significantly altered the rotation rate or orbit of the earth.
A comet large enough to make a 1% change in the orbital period certainly would have exterminated all life on the planet! A single impact could not have left the earth in an approximately circular orbit (unless it started in a highly elliptic orbit).
People lived several hundred years because the years were shorter??? That implies an orbit closer to the sun than Venus. The planet would have been sterilized.

In short: this is all crazy talk.

Read some Graham Hancock I see
