2350 BC Middle East Anomaly

The 2350 BC Middle East Anomaly was a natural disaster involving wildfires and floods and air blast of over 100 megatons power which appears to have been caused by a comet or asteroid impact. Some say that its impact site is marked by the Umm al Binni lake in southern Iraq. Evidence comes from deposits which have been found.[1][2]
