Tidal Waves or Tsunamis in Ancient Literature

[Tarbicus]

Marshland is usually not becoming that much dryer when a tsunami pulls the water out sea. Does the eastern Mediterranean have much of a tidal zone?

So maybe there was no tsunami at all?

It doesn't matter about tidal zones. Tsunamis have nothing to do with tides, they're the result of a massive displacement by undersea earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and landslides (and meteorites). The marsh in question extended into the Mediterranean (it's north of the Red Sea on the other side of the land mass) and the water came directly from the Med, the marsh populated with reeds. The name of the sea that Moses crossed in original Hebrew text is 'The Sea of Reeds', mistranslated at a later date. The dating of the volcanic eruption coincides faithfully with the latest estimates of the Exodus, and the time estimated (scientifically) for the water to return to the marsh is twenty minutes, the scale of the tsunami and drawback being so great after the eruption.

If you still doubt it, there are two living survivors of a tsunami in Alaska in the 1950's, father and son. The wave was 500 metres high, and the cause was a landslide in a neighbouring part of the water system they were fishing in. This is all documented and confirmed by footage taken the next day.

The Boxing Day disaster a few years ago was a result of a gigantic and long overdue (therefore highly pressurised) displacement when a tectonic plate pushed 150 km of the neighbouring plate up by over 40 metres at twice the speed of a bullet. Landslides also break the sound barrier (the added momentum of the debris accelerates the material in front of it IIRC), as do pyrochlastic clouds and the debris they displace. You usually see them before you hear them.

The expected eruption in the Canary Islands is expected to cause the worst ever recorded disaster, heading across the Atlantic and engulfing the eastern seaboard of the USA up to 15 miles inland. The cause will be a gigantic landslide from the eruption as happened 3,500 years ago in the Med.
