Clovis culture or pre-flood civilisation
"Clovis sites have since been identified throughout much, but not all, of the contiguous United States, as well as Mexico and Central America, and even into northern South America.[16]
It is generally accepted that Clovis people hunted mammoths, as Clovis points have repeatedly been found in sites containing mammoth remains. However, mammoth was only a small part of the Clovis diet; extinct bison, mastodon, gomphotheres, sloths, tapir, camelops, horse and a host of smaller animals have also been found at Clovis sites where they were killed and eaten. In total, more than 125 species of plants and animals are known to have been used by Clovis people in the portion of the Western Hemisphere they inhabited.[17][18]
The oldest Clovis site in North America is believed to be El Fin del Mundo in northwestern Sonora, Mexico, discovered during a 2007 survey. It features occupation dating around 13,390 calibrated years BP.[19] In 2011, remains of Gomphothere were found; the evidence suggests that humans did in fact kill two of them here. There's also the Aubrey site in Denton County, Texas, which produced a radiocarbon date that is almost identical.[20]
Disappearance of Clovis[edit]
Further information: Younger Dryas
The most commonly held perspective on the end of the Clovis culture is that a decline in the availability of megafauna, ....
Whether the Clovis culture drove the mammoth, and other species, to extinction via overhunting – the so-called Pleistocene overkill hypothesis – is still an open, and controversial, question.[23] It has also been hypothesized that the Clovis culture saw its decline in the wake of the Younger Dryas cold phase.[24] This 'cold shock', lasting roughly 1500 years, affected many parts of the world, including North America. This appears to have been triggered by a vast amount of meltwater – possibly from Lake Agassiz – emptying into the North Atlantic, disrupting the thermohaline circulation.[25]"

Clovis culture is speculated to have been destroyed by "a vast amount of meltwater..." which disrupted the ocean currents. What about a worldwide flood disrupting the ocean's currents?
