Quake Terror: Experts Identify Giant Tsunami That Decimated Coastal Communities For 1,000 Years

An international team led by Chilean researchers and with a Spanish presence published their discovery of a huge earthquake that changed life in the Atacama desert 3,800 years ago, in Science Advances on 6th April 2022.  (Departamento de Geologia - Universidad de Chile/Zenger)

A tremendous earthquake unleashed a giant tsunami that caused so much devastation to coastal inhabitants that it took at least 1,000 years for them to return to shore living.

Geologists and archaeologists who say we need to learn the lessons from the quake of the past fear that modern authorities have not considered how much worse the next quake will be, and must adapt their plans accordingly.
