Hola Listeros -
While Bill Napier has proposed that Comet Encke was involved in these events: http://arxiv.org/pdf/1003.0744.pdf The anthropological evidence indicates that it was yet another comet, Giacobini-Zimmer, the progenitor of the Draconid Meteor stream: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/21P/Giacobini%E2%80%93Zinner Examining the remains at Gobekli Tepe, we find that they were constructed to be oriented towards the direction of the Draconids, and not to the direction of the Taurids and Encke: http://www.academia.edu/4315208/Gobekli_Tepe_and_the_Worship_of_the_Stars http://i.space.com/images/i/000/012/539/i02/draconid-meteor-shower-map.jpg?1317942240 In North America, materials on the "Sky Serpent" (Unktena) and "Thunderbird" (Tlanwa) exist pretty uniformly, viz: https://ohiohistory.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/al08760-copy.jpg http://hellodrew.com/earthworks/serpent.html etc, etc etc: http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/10/07/article-0-0E414A5D00000578-124_306x442.jpg https://anthroposcenery.files.wordpress.com/2013/11/draconids-painting-1933_341px.jpg This is very bad news, as it indicates that the rate of cometary injection and impact with the Earth was much higher in the "recent" past than previously estimated. If this was not a one off occurence, but instead represents the long term rate, then... good hunting, all E.P.
