From Fire to Ice—How the Dinosaurs Truly Vanished ❄🔥 #timeexploration

Description

We often imagine the asteroid impact as an instant death sentence for the dinosaurs—but the truth is far more tragic.

66 million years ago, an asteroid slammed into what’s now Mexico at 20 km per second. The impact vaporized rock, sending dust into the upper atmosphere. Within 30 minutes, molten rock and glass rained down across the globe, igniting massive wildfires.

Hours later, tsunamis devastated coastlines. By the fourth day, dust and soot had blocked most sunlight. Photosynthesis stopped, and for two years the planet remained dark.

For 15 years, Earth stayed frozen. Herbivores died within weeks. Predators like the T-Rex scavenged until they starved.

Yet, life clung on—birds, crocodiles, sharks, and tiny mammals survived, becoming the ancestors of modern species, including us.

This is the real story of the final chapter of the dinosaurs—a tale of destruction, survival, and rebirth.
