Yup.
word the street is he was a intern in Slartibartfast’s shop that was bored with fijords and was just screwing around
Yup. But there was a problem. The bottom layers of the silt contained salt water shells which indicated that salt water was 'upstream' as far as the Aswan dam. This data is used by one scientist (forgot who) to support his theory that the Ice Age melt water at one time (briefly) exceeded todays levels.
Also, I've read one description of the Nile Valley that compared it to the Grand Canyon during the Ice Age.

Don’t forget your towel.
We had a real Big bang around 1150 BC, Where(?), that destroyed Mediterranean Civilization, Blam has better ideas on that than I.
It would seem to me that if Etna went South, the coast line would limit the damage further east.
"KINGSTON, R.I. August 23, 2006 An international team of scientists has found that the second largest volcanic eruption in human history, the massive Bronze Age eruption of Thera in Greece, was much larger and more widespread than previously believed.

Cheers!
The stuff that we should examine is the period around 1150. it seems to me that, as you pointed out years ago about the 2500 BC era in the middle east, a whole lot of strangeness going on.
In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day all the fountains of the great deep burst open, and the floodgates of the sky were opened.
The Book I refered to, “The Great Dying”, Kenneth Hsu. Mostly K/T boundary stuff, but a lot of Deep Drilling stuff also.
More like 2348 BC
