Dan Sutton is an autodidact who started with Google Earth and a background in electric universe theory. What he found, and has spent years attempting to disprove, is a scar running from the Taklamakan Desert through the Middle East and into North Africa that he believes marks the entry and exit points of a plasmoid - a self-sustaining electromagnetic structure - that struck the Earth around 12,000 to 13,000 years ago.The Taklamakan Desert, in his model, is the exit wound. The plasmoid did not strike like a conventional impactor. It was not a solid object but a counter-rotating double toroid - a magnetic field structure - whose energy punched through the crust and ejected material outward. The Himalayan mountain range and the raised Tibetan Plateau, Sutton argues, fall precisely within the field lines of the upper toroid. The fluid dynamic patterns visible in the surrounding mountain ranges, and the diamond-shaped resonance formations consistent with supersonic wind events, extend across the entire region.The theory is not yet peer reviewed and Sutton is the first to acknowledge the challenges of presenting it. However, the more he has tried to disprove it, the more the geography has continued to fit.
