The Chiemgau School

The Chiemgau School, also known as the Chiemgau Impact Hypothesis, is a theory suggesting that a meteorite or comet struck the Chiemgau region in Bavaria, Germany, around 4,000 years ago. This event is believed to have caused widespread environmental changes and possibly influenced ancient human activity. Supporters cite geological evidence, such as unusual crater formations and meteoritic material, as well as artifacts from local archaeological sites. While not universally accepted, the hypothesis offers an intriguing explanation for abrupt climatic or cultural shifts in the prehistoric period of this area.
