I agree. It’s interesting that Homer includes a description of a surge of water chasing one of the Trojan War heroes up a river valley, and Thucydides describes the loss of an Athenian garrison and its fortress, built on a rocky isle (still there) in the Gulf of Corinth due to a tsunami. Poseidon, Greek deity of the seas, was also Earthshaker because the cause and effect was something of which the ancient Greeks were aware, even though they didn’t understand the actual mechanics of the phenom.

Did not know that. Thanks. (I learn a lot from you,FRiend.)
By the way, the Marine Archeologist from Texas A&M that led one of the Port Royal explorations, Barto Arnold, is the son of my old business partner.
He later led the expedition a few years ago that discovered and explored the French ships off the Texas Coast in Matagorda bay that had sunk while supporting the La Salle colony that was looking for the mouth of the Mississippi.
A&M is one of the few universities that offer a degree in Marine Archeology.
