There was an interesting programme on telly tonight. It's alleged the Minoan civilisation was wiped out by a tsunami after a massive volcanic eruption. The theory is that was the basis for Plato's story of Atlantis.
Incidentally, the same programme theorised that the Biblical parting of the Red Sea during the Exodus was the same tsunami. The Red Sea wasn't the real location, but a marshland next to the Nile Delta, which apparently fits with the proper translation of the ancient text.
Two great stories from one event, perhaps.
