Geologists from GUtech, in cooperation with archeologists from the Ministry of Heritage and Culture, have dug up evidence of a tsunami or severe storm that hit Ras Al Hadd about 4,500 years ago...

Did global warming cause it?

Forty-five hundred years ago - wasn’t that about the time of the Great Flood?

Dang! 45 centuries too early!

I need glasses. I read “mega wave hit Obama”.

[WayneS]

It’s a little late to be reporting on it now, isn’t it?

I’ve been to Oman......on a secret base called SEEB. Back in when the war kicked off.

Megawave hit Orman's arse 48 hours ago.

That is roughly the time frame for the Burkle Crater, an asteroid strike in the South Indian Ocean.

and six thousand years from now, the scientists will wonder if a tsunami or cyclone destroyed cities in the Visayas here in the Philippines last year. Actually, a tsunami is more powerful, but a storm surge will kill you too. The archeology should be different, though.

The bad news is that here in the Philippines, it is suspected a lot of aid was diverted into the hands of the politicians, hence the slowness in rebuilding.

Are we supposed to be surprised that there have been tsunamis in the past?

The earth is not a nice place sometimes.
