Marc Young is an Australian geoarchaeologist and member of the CRG and is renowned for his extensive research into the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis.

Marc Young's academic journey began with a profound interest in archaeology, inspired by early exposure to documentaries on Ancient Egypt. In 2016, after a Joe Rogan episode featuring Randall Carlson and Graham Hancock, he was inspired to pursue a Bachelor of Archaeology and a Bachelor of Science, which he completed in 2021. During his undergraduate studies, Marc was awarded the University Medal for his dissertation relating to the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis. His dedication to this field culminated in an Honours research project that experimentally evaluated protocols for separating magnetic microspherules, contributing valuable insights to the methodologies used in geoarchaeological research.

An active researcher with the Comet Research Group, Marc collaborates on various projects related to cosmic impacts and their effects on Earth's history and also compiled together the YDIH Bibliography.

As an invaluable contributor to the Comet Research Group, Marc is an asset to the Cosmic Summit. His in-depth knowledge and expertise on the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis and catastrophism further our understanding of the potential influences cosmic phenomena have had on our cultural development. 

Returning to Cosmic Summit, Marc Young’s dedication to uncovering the connections between cosmic events and archaeological records positions him as a leading figure in the emerging field of geocosmic archaeology. His work not only broadens our comprehension of historical events but also inspires a multidisciplinary approach to studying the past. Attendees will look forward to his unique insights and interesting perspectives.
