GGG Ping.
If the Mediterranean sea was blocked off from the worlds oceans at this time, as I suspect, the Med would have been severely dessicated and the tsunami impact would have been substancially less.

"Geological evidence indicates that the eastern flanks of Mt. Etna volcano, located on Italy's island of Sicily, suffered at least one large collapse nearly 8,000 years ago."
Ah, I remember it well. It was a Tuesday, it was raining and I was waiting for a stop light to change.....

They also speculate that this tsunami may have led to the abandonment of a Neolithic village in Israel. "The Flood"?

Possible tsunami 8,000 years ago; breaching of natural dam between the Mediterrean Sea and the current Black Sea 6,000 or more years ago.
I wonder if there is a possible link....and this would be nice flood story.

Rehwinkel's The Flood posits a vast number of disasters all hitting at once, causing the Genesis Flood, which was the will of God.
Although Velikovsky can be weird and rationalistic, I appreciate his willingness to view the past as chaotic rather than immutable.

I remember it too, it washed away my second home at the beach. Then the insurance company wouldnt pay up, and we had to bull doze the dunes back in place.

Thanks Blam. I'll ping this to GGG and the Catastrophism list.
must have been one of those, "Etna, I'm not so sure I'm glad I met ya" moments of ancient times.

"Possible tsunami 8,000 years ago; breaching of natural dam between the Mediterrean Sea and the current Black Sea 6,000 or more years ago." The Black Sea flood is dated to 7,600 years ago. Maybe?

What's a "large" tsunami?

What's a "large" tsunami?
It's a tsunami bigger than a medium sized tsunami, and much bigger than a small tsunami.
To: TXnMA
Or the parting of the Red Sea?
