The oldest evidence and records of catastrophic falls of large space rocks are undoubtedly impact craters that are studied by geologists. However, in historical times, i.e. the times of the emergence and development of human cultures, there are also records discovered by the latest geological but also archaeological research. Among the most spectacular are the discoveries of Chinese archaeologists. They link the invention of stone tools made on both sides (including fists and hatchets) almost 800,000 years ago in the area of the Bose Valley in Guangxi in southern China with the decline of tektites in the Middle Paleolithic. With the development and invention of writing, they are also reflected in sculptures, written texts, poems, notes and chronicles. Scientists believe that rock-carved symbols found in the world’s oldest temple, Göbekli Tepe in southern Turkey, dated to over 10,000 BC, are evidence that a comet caused the Little Ice Age. Also worth mentioning is the Epic of Gilgamesh, which is probably the oldest written story on Earth. Originally from ancient Sumeria, it was written in cuneiform on 12 clay tablets. It follows the adventures of the historical king of Uruk, somewhere between 2750 and 2500 BC. According to the translated text of the recently discovered new cuneiform tablets, on the so-called In the first Tablet, there is a record of a large meteorite that fell to the ground. However, the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah described in the Bible, as recent research has shown, is also the result of a cosmic body that fell in this region of Jordan.
