In the years 774 and 993, the Earth was attacked from space.
Whatever it was, it subtly altered the chemistry of our planet’s atmosphere, creating trace amounts of radioactive elements like chlorine-36, beryllium-10, and carbon-14.
These must have been huge waves of subatomic particles that slammed into us on those dates. Spikes in the abundances of those elements were found all over the world, including ice cores from the Arctic and Antarctic, Chinese corals, and more. Generating that many particles isn’t easy, and only extremely violent events can do it.

Oh, and Protip: It wasn't the sun.
It would be interesting to explore folk memory to see if various cultures have/had stories that could be attributed to a bombardment from space.
Wouldn't writings about these events still exist, though?

Did it change us?

The earlier research ruled out the nearby explosion of a massive star (a supernova) as nothing was recorded in observations at the time and no remnant has been found.
Prof. Miyake also considered whether a solar flare could have been responsible, but these are not powerful enough to cause the observed excess of carbon-14.. blah blah..
Following this announcement, researchers pointed to an entry in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle that describes a 'RED CRUCIFIX' seen after sunset and suggested this might be a supernova. But this dates from 776, too late to account for the carbon-14 data and still does not explain why no remnant has been detected.

Had a recent conversation about this with a friend.
He thinks that Earth was a site of a battle several thousand years ago, and we were the end result (we were the slaves, and both superior beings that fought each other ended up destroying themselves).

Your friend is silly. We evolved from some little rat-like mammal millions of years ago. If Dinosaurs hadn't been wiped out we wouldn't be here though. We were dinosaur bait, and had 0.000001% chance of progressing any further than said dinosaur shit.
There's mention of a war possibly using thermonuclear weapons in the Bhagavad Gita

>were the slaves
I think you meant are* and the winner wasn't destroyed, just hiding in the smoke

No coincidence Oppenheimer quoted the Bhagavad Gita at the first nuclear test.

Too bad the vast majority of them are kept under lock and key, and the public will never know what they contain.
>>16976936
If they are under lock and key how do you know they exist?
>>16976521
scientology bullshit

No doubt! That'd be PRETTY FUCKING WEIRD IF HE QUOTED IT ACCIDENTALLY, WITHOUT MEANING TO, WOULDN'T IT?

I can't find any links now but i once heard from a reliable source what's public is only a small part.
