The edge of the glacier
The answer proposed by the Mahabharata and the Rig Veda in the form of a double effect of tidal disturbance from a space object and the fall of fireballs explains this.
The question of the time of the final destruction of the Barents Sea glacier is somewhat more complicated. Thus, a number of researchers believe that the final melting of the glacier on the Pechora occurred after 8 thousand BC, which is associated with the descent of a valley lake that existed at the mouth of the Pechora River in 7400—7200 BC and carried out flow through Sula and Indiga into the sea.
But, firstly: if there was a runoff into the Barents Sea, it means that there was no continuous ice on the sea, and secondly: the river could be blocked both by a residual mountain glacier and as a result of a local tectonic uplift.
Other researchers believe that evidence of the existence of a glacier at the turn of 7—8 thousand BC there are traces of moraines, as well as the dating of buried vegetation in the layers of the Markhid moraine 7—6.7 thousand BC by C14.
But, under them lies woody vegetation of 8 thousand BC, that is, at least at this time, a forest grew in the mouth of the Pechora. As indicated in the 20″Paleogeography of Europe over the last hundred thousand years», moraine formations of «dead» ice, covered with sediment on top, in the blades of glaciers reaching 250 meters in height, could exist even covered with vegetation for at least 3.5 thousand years.
Moraine formations from dead ice
It is noted that in the postglacial period catastrophic mudflows were widespread even in the valleys, and most of the «moraine» formations 15 km long and 1 km wide were attributed to them. In addition, carbon dating for this time (8 thousand BC) is rejuvenated by 1—1.5 thousand years compared to the present age.
According to the latest data, the destruction of the Pechora glacier occurred 12.5
thousand years ago, i.e. in 10—11 thousand BC. Then, in 10—11 thousand BC, a glacier disappeared in Western Siberia, which was part of the same ice sheet with Pechorsky.
The fact that the events described that according to the Mahabharata after the destruction of Vritra, after a long period of time, in order to get rid of the Danavas, the Northwest Ocean was drained moreover, his condition lasted at least 3 millennia.
