A few hours ago I read quite a few postings that reports of a giant monster wave had originated at Twitter, and were obviously inaccurate.

Meantime, I just found out that someone posted a thread about the wave:

40 Meter (130 ft) Tsunami Wave Smashes Juan Fernandez Island

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2460515/posts

I wanted to bring it to everyone's attention, because I don't remember all the details of what I read in the discussion on this thread debunking this report in entirety.

Feared that was the case, no city can hold to up to a quake that strong.

“Since Daniel lived in the 6th century BC, he couldn’t have used Greek words in his text and so this archeologically supports the idea that Daniel did not write the book himself.”

This is quite incorrect. There is evidence of Greek mercenaries used against the Assyrians in their last attempts to defend the westernmost remains of their empire after the fall of Nineveh in 612 B.C. There was also a great deal of merchantile interchange between the Greeks and Egyptians, Assyrians, and Babylonians sometimes with and sometimes without Phoenician cooperation.

The Greek words in Daniel to which you refer are words for musical instruments, i.e. very specialized items, often of foreign origin, vocabulary for which often contains foreign loan words (because there is no word for such in the given language). This is true of all languages of all eras.

Again, how do you say sitar in English? Or sonata? Or souffle or quiche?
