That has been my understanding.
As some of you already know, this topic has fascinated me for some time. I have approached it because of my interest in volcanic impact on human history. About 4 years ago I concluded that the correct date was in the early half of the 1400's BC, and related to the 18th dynasty. Thera is too early, but there was a major eruption of Mt. Etna, listed as 1500, + or - 50 years. I have tried to find out more about this eruption, but only know that it left a huge bowl in the side of the mountain a la Mt. St. Helens. It is called the Valle de Boveda(sp?) and I sure wish someone had more precise information on the eruption date.
It is 2 pm, and I haven't had breakfast yet. I'll be back late tonight or tomorrow with more to say on this fascinating subject. Does anyone have a contact address on Jacobovici?
Sorry, no. Good luck.
Thanks for thinking about my question. This thread seems to have died, so I guess I won't elaborate. I'll wait for another one.
See my review, headed "Reporter from the Apocalypse?" Thanks to CD universe for the cover art.

If I remember correctly the image is of the Ark from the front and collapsed along that perspective.
