Apocalyptic Comet - Story about 28 million years ago...


Scientists and researchers have found a small stone with diamonds in the Sahara Desert. They think it was the first evidence of a comet strike, and that happened 28 million years ago!

This is the first evidence of a comet strike as all the known comets have burned in the atmosphere. As the discovered stone was filled with diamonds, it didn't burn up and was left behind in the desert.


Scientists and researchers think that it was a huge comet that burned in the atmosphere, killed many living species and heated the earth's surface in that part to 3500 C. Due to this heat in the desert, sand in that part of the desert transformed into glass and Egyptian Kings used that glass to make statues and many other kings.

This discovery is very important as this may reveal where that comet came from, was that actually a planet, or something else. This may also reveal how this solar system and earth was made. These comet particles were also found in the upper atmosphere, which made diamonds, which were not visible to naked eye.
