Until around 500 AD, Indian tribes inhabited the central and northeastern parts of the present-day United States, and their historical monuments are now unified under the name "Hopwell Culture."

But after 500 AD. This culture has actually disappeared from the vision of archaeologists, and so have the inherent tombs and works of art. And according to scholars, the disappearance of the Synopsis culture is unlikely to be related to tribal warfare, simply because there is no evidence of militant conflict dating back to that period.

It can be speculated that due to the cold snap, the animals hunted by the Indians migrated southward, resulting in the decline of the culture. It is also possible that the Indians slaughtered a small number of animals themselves through the widely used bow and arrow, thus depriving themselves of food. However, experts at the University of Cincinnati are confident in the cosmic version of cultural decline. In their view, the culprit was a near-Earth comet whose fragments destroyed about 24,000 square meters of territory. kilometer.

Hopewell's excavations in 11 different locations confirmed the traces of a cosmic explosion. They managed to find fragments of meteorites, as well as a layer of charcoal, indicating that the Earth in this place had suffered a fire. According to archaeology professor Kennett Tankersley, the local Indians still have a legend about a horned snake that threw stones over people's heads before it died in the river itself.
