218,000,000 years ago, the impact of a large asteroid on Wilkes Land, Antarctica, caused a crater 500 km in diameter, the collision would have produced about 8000 million megatons. At 1000 km from the impact, the fireball rose in the sky with a brightness 130 times higher than the Sun, causing winds of more than 5000 km / H with pressures of up to 32.6 bars, and earthquakes above 11 degrees on the Richter scale. Even 10,000 km from impact, the results were devastating, especially in the long term. Everything indicates that the impact caused the rupture of the earth's crust in the antipodes, causing the Siberian Trapps: the largest emission of lava in the history of the planet, which remained active for approximately one hundred thousand years and altered the global climate with its emissions of gases, dramatically affecting life throughout the planet ... begins a process of extinction of various animal and plant species. For years, the cloud of dust suspended in the atmosphere did not allow the passage of the solar rays, seriously damaging the flora and consequently the animal life.

The rock layer that was fossilized after the eruption has revealed for archeology the extinction of different forms of life, during a process that lasted 30,000 years, ninety-five percent of Life disappeared during "The Great Dying".

From the bowels of the Earth sprouted the gigantic forces of Nature to form the wild and untamed geography that one day, millions of years later, would be the cradle of Mother Russia.
