Professor Michal Kamienski (1879-1973) was a Polish astronomer from the University of Cracow who claimed that astronomical research could be used to reveal a more exact date for various landmark events in ancient history. As a result of his investigations he proposed that a part of Halley’s Comet fell into the Gulf of Mexico in 9546 BC or 9540 BC and was responsible for the destruction of Atlantis^[420]. In 1971 Comet Wolf was renamed Comet Wolf-Kamienski in his honour.
