A team of European archeologists say a gigantic tidal wave traveled more than 25 miles inland, destroying the Roman port city of Hispalis (Seville). The Seville Cathedral, as seen from Patio de Banderas Plaza.

Hmmm, would have had to be quite a tsunami to make it 45 miles inland. I suppose it’s possible, but I’m a bit skeptical of this hypothesis

The article states “45 miles”.

Whoa. Even the Tohoku event traveled a fraction of that distance.

Bump for later (taking a quick lunchbreak).

Like the later 1755 tsunami that destroyed Lisbon and the Portuguese navigation and map secrets which were stored under guard in the Library.

Canary Islands origin.
