Diamonds Rained Down During Ice Age
by Paulina Neshybova

The new research showed that precious metals and diamonds which were found in Indiana and Ohio were brought here from Canada thousands years ago, but nobody knows exactly how, because neither Ohio or Indiana has any mines with these metals.There are few theories, that could prove this motion of precious stones.The first one is that all this stuff could have been thrown high into the air during the big strike, or the second one is that all the diamonds and precious metals were brought down by the rivers that came into existence by melting all the glaciers.And how these diamonds originated? About 12,900 years ago, a big comet smahed over Canada and everything went ablazed. This event is consistent with another theory from West and colleagues. They also said that around this time a 3 mile wide comet fell down on earth and damaged a big part of it. Some of the diamonds were so small, that they could not have been seen by the naked eye and they could even be breathed by animals as their size was about that of a cold viruse. But the other ones, were big enough to hurt you.However, this comet had not brought only diamonds. Because of the big heat, all the forests, Canadian grasslands, animals and even humans were killed by the fire caused by multiple airburst.Eventually, the climate at the end of the Last ice Age changed too. The weather went cold and a sudden global cold snap appeared. But of course, so far these are only theories, and all the researches are far from proving that these two events has a connection. Therefore, they are going to propose it to a scientific journal at first.
