It was in the mid-6th century that the Dark Ages began. Professor Mike Baillie believes it was an asteroid(s) or comet fragment(s) that initiated that period. Might the asteroid/comet impact be what caused this earthquake?
Tsunami too?

This was obviously caused by Halliburton, under orders from Karl Rove.

Volkswanderung was not a comet. It was worse. Besides, a global impact would show in the Chinese records, too.

Yes, it was Bush's fault, though. Ya just know it! Bush Prescottius the 1st and Pontius Cheney 1st ordered Karlopernicus Rove of Pompeii to drive the Global Warming horse-drawn chariot into those areas.

Just like Californians, they keep building over known fault lines.

Some sort of tidal wave action would make sense with the greater damage at the city vs. the necropolis on higher ground.
That being said, we are dealing with unreinforced stone work here. The height of the buildings in the city compared to the necropolis may also explain the difference in damage levels.

There's plenty of strong earthquakes in the Eastern Mediterranean from normal tectonic sources.
Interestingly it does seem there were a LOT more quakes there in Old Testament through Roman times through the early Byzantine period than there are today. An unusual lull now.

" Besides, a global impact would show in the Chinese records, too." It is written in the Chinese records. Also, the tree-rings worldwide recorded the event.

"Interestingly it does seem there were a LOT more quakes there in Old Testament through Roman times through the early Byzantine period than there are today. An unusual lull now." A lull in celestial events too. Related?

A strange natural catastrophe it would have to be - lasting for a good two centuries like Volkswanderung. I do not buy it.

IIRC, Volkswanderung [German term] = [great] wandering of the peoples, supposedly started with the Huns [hsiung-nu in Chinese sources] in about early 3rd century AD, proceeded as an avalanche of displaced tribes from Eastern Central Asia westward, got to Europe in the 5th century, got deflected and dissipated, but ultimately resulted in the collapse of Western Roman empire and the establishment of a bunch of tribal kingdoms and duchies, aka Dark Ages.

Thanks Blam. The answer is, there were undersea earthquakes during the Pelopponesian War, as remarked by Thucydides and others. Judging from some remarks in the Iliad, the same was true of the time of the Trojan War.
