Carvings on a 12,000-year-old monument in Turkey appear to mark solar days and years , making it possibly the oldest solar calendar in ancient civilization.
The ancient calendar's preoccupation with day, night, and seasonal changes may have sparked anew with a world-changing comet strike.
By tracking the movements of meteors and the Earth , the ancient research may have also shown for the first time that comet strikes happen more when Earth 's orbit crosses the path of circling comet fragments.
