摘　　要：A meteorite impacted the ground in Estonia forming the Kaali Crater dated at 1183 - 1162 BC. It set up a Baltic-wide mega-tsunami dated at 1171 absolute varve years BC. It also triggered violent seismotectonic effect in Sweden. Ancient legends testify of direct observations of the sky phenomena and personal experiences of the ground shaking and tsunami flooding, which makes the Kaali Crater the oldest impact event documented by humans. The Ragnar<span style="white-space:nowrap;">&#246;</span>k apocalypse is likely to lead its origin from the violent geodynamic activity along the Swedish east coast.A meteorite impacted the ground in Estonia forming the Kaali Crater dated at 1183 - 1162 BC.
