Meghalai century - the official name of the 21 century

The International Commission on Stratigraphy made a unanimous decision and approved the name of the period of time in which we live. The period that began 4200 years ago and continues to this day is called Meghalai Age.

The definition is available on the official website of the organization.

The dating of the history of the planet is set on a geochronological scale. And the scale is based on stratigraphy. To whom it is not clear - to the alternation of layers of rocks. Let the terms and bewilderment among the uninitiated (and this is 99,9% of the total population of the planet Earth), but among scientists, everything is logical and logical.

Meghalai Age

If you delve into history, then humanity lives in the era of the Holocene. More precisely, in the Cenozoic era of the Quaternary period. In order not to confuse themselves with terminology, scientists recommend that the reader remember only the name of the century and know from what period it came from. Measurement begins with large-scale drought, which lasted two centuries.

A theory without practice is dead, as long as there is no evidence - not faith!

The name "Meghalai Age" is given in honor of Meghalaya Cave, located in Indiana, USA. The Americans set the time for the start of the drought from rock deposits. Researchers in Asia and Europe have hundreds of questions for US scientists regarding stratigraphy and Indian caves. However, US representatives are in no hurry to share their own results. The definition of "Meghalai Age" arose six years ago, and still has no evidence base. Therefore, for the time being, we will have to be content with the opinions of experts and theory.
