“Estimates of the death toll from the quake range from 1,655 to 5,700, along with leaving 3,000 injured, 2 million homeless and causing $550 million in economic damage in Southern Chile”.

I see that there were not 2 million people on earth at that time.

The two million figure is for the 1960 quake.

Scientists have found evidence that an earthquake 3,800 years ago in Northern Chile is the largest in human history, according to a new study. The quake had a magnitude of around 9.5...

The largest known earthquake before the new study was the 9.5 magnitude Valdivia earthquake, which struck Southern Chile in May 1960....

Interesting conjecture. About the correct time frame.. kind of... During Genisis, anyway...

So if they just discovered this one then how do they know there was not a bigger one at some time in some place?

I was watching a thing with Norm MacDonald discussing faith with atheist Larry King.

“Ya know who you really have to have faith in Larry? Scientists! I mean, they’ve always been wrong. They’re always coming up with new stuff. First they said the sun revolved around the earth.. Oops - nope! The earth goes around the sun...”

And now Biden will announce that this qualifies everyone in Chile to come to the U.S. as a refugee.

Who knows for sure, but the Flood, was the greatest catastrophe to ever hit the earth. 😩

And they know the older 9.5 is bigger than the newer 9.5 because the older 9.5 had a 1000 km crack, while the newer 9.5 had a 621 mile crack.

The the 3800 year old Earth quake is estimated to be 9.5, then why is it considered the biggest when the same country had a 9.5 in 1960?

That on top of COVID 1800 BC was a real bummer. But we got through it.
