Aren't you thinking of that '90s TV show, "Just Shoot Me?"
IF planets are actually hollow it would explain a lot of things. How civilizations survive such impacts, for one. Where “Eden” is, for another. Why we can’t find high tech radiation traces in the solar system, let alone from other stars...
Where lost socks go... where new wire coathangers come from... the real source of velcro...
Solar eclipse? Maybe not. Maybe it was just the sun being obscured in the middle of the day.
Immanuel Velikovsky springs to mind. In the first half of the last century we had the “settled science” that all geologic change in recorded history of man was gradual and there was little “catastrophic” change.
His popular book series, much maligned, tried to explain much of biblical history in light of catastrophic events he outlined and attempted to show evidence to support.
In the past sixty years we now have impact events being substantiated as happening during and before the age of man in great numbers and these, like the events he postulated were huge planet shaking events.
When we finally got below the clouds of Venus, we found it had retrograde rotation just like he predicted.
I greatly enjoyed a book called Velikovsky Reconsidered published by some 70s era kids. I have little belief in the cosmology he proposed, but he was certainly an independent thinker that helped our age deal with what C. S. Lewis called chronological bigotry — the belief that the people of early ages were stupid and ignorant in all they recorded.
It could be that radio transmission is a short lived technology in the ascent of any civilization, and that, given different rates of advancement, and the inconceivable distances between stars, that it is rare that two civilizations should be at the same relative level of technological progress as to intercept the other's transmissions. Some may have already nuked themselves into oblivion. Others made it to the other side where all the good stuff is - some kind of quantum communication or innovation that we can't even imagine.
It might not occur to advanced societies to use radio any more than it would dawn on us to send up smoke signals. Ain't nobody got time fo' dat.
And sent a wave up the Red Sea that swamped the Sinai and likely rolled into the Med.
An interesting thing is that Noah had prior data shared with him so he could get ready.
So, the rate of the planet getting hit is higher than thought.
She showed the same slides and is in a number of them.
It would have been a treat to go on that trip!
There may be some interesting archeology underneath the sediment that could provide a snapshot of an ancient civilization.
Moses, Red Sea?
The sediment is 600 feet tall.

I did a FR search but it didn’t come up.
Just an updated ping message, or two.
