    Alps would fuck up any evidence easily accessible and it’s very expensive to confirm if it did land there, even if it was to land in a spot that had less erosion

    Maybe you could prospect out of the way of the Alps, to see if there’s any strange deposits down stream or other sedimentary locations

    I can only assume this was in fact done, and since there was no record of anything strange, a landslide was assumed as the closest alternative (?)

      This tablet has been around for decades and is basically the only alleged hard piece of evidence for the Köfels Impact. After that you get into Austrian biblical psuedo-historians looking for Sodom and Gomorrah.

      I’m pretty comfortable putting this whole thing in the bunk bin. The article’s host site is also full of archeological sensationalism.
