This article states that gigantic volcano eruptions in the area of Deccan in modern India were the cause of life extinction on Earth 66 million years ago. About 4 subsequent volcano eruptions spewed poisonous gases and ash into the air, blocking sunlight and wiping out most lifeforms on Earth.

  1. How does this period of destruction tally with Kalpa/Yuga theory?
  2. Do Hindu / other ancient texts have any reference to this event?
  3. Is there any connection to Shiva's destructive force?

Yuga theory states that four yugas are of length 4.32 million years. Currently 28th chaturyuga is going on. So 66 million is 13th/14th chaturyuga. Currently we don't what exactly happened in that period. There is very less information available of period behind this chaturyuga. (3.9million years ago)
