If this old German tale were a preservation of one of the glacial flood experiences, I have to wonder if it refers to the large influx of cold water attested by isotopes in the Greenland ice cores, or to the breaching of a previously unknown natural barrier which filled what is now the strait between Denmark and the rest of Scandinavia. Interestingly enough, Strabo betrays his own uniformitarian bias:Romans and BarbariansIn fact the German heartland appears to have lain in the southern Baltic and north coastal areas of today's Germany. However, in the late 2nd century BC the Germans began to move southwards into the Rhineland and Belgium, setting in motion events which would shake Roman confidence and fuel her longstanding fear of the morthern peoples. Two tribes migrated from Jutland, 'driven from their lands by a great flood-tide.'18 [footnote: Strabo, Geography, 7.2.1]

And if he were alive today, he'd say he wouldn't believe that the Moon landings happened because he hasn't gone himself.GeographyII. As for the Cimbri, some things that are told about them are incorrect and others are extremely improbable. For instance, one could not accept such a reason for their having become a wandering and piratical folk as this--that while they were dwelling on a Peninsula they were driven out of their habitations by a great flood-tide; for in fact they still hold the country which they held in earlier times; and they sent as a present to Augustus the most sacred kettle1 in their country, with a plea for his friendship and for an amnesty of their earlier offences, and when their petition was granted they set sail for home; and it is ridiculous to suppose that they departed from their homes because they were incensed on account of a phenomenon that is natural and eternal, occurring twice every day. And the assertion that an excessive flood-tide once occurred looks like a fabrication, for when the ocean is affected in this way it is subject to increases and diminutions, but these are regulated and periodical.

Comet theory is fascinating. Nice work on finding the link.
Fascinating. Cannot imagine how powerful such a tsunami must have been.
