Hello,
Once again I require urgent help with a matter:
I am looking for any; myths, tales, legends, drawings, pictures etc. which depicts a tsunami, or involves a tsunami. I believe it is a matter of ethnography and anthropology.
Is there a good lead on this?
Thank you for your answers.
For anyone in need, here is a useful example on Forbes website:

The tsunami or flood appears in some of the oldest recorded myths of the Middle-East, and is an important theme in our oldest surviving piece of literature, The Epic of Gilgamesh. This flood, deluge or tsunami dramatically effects both gods and humanity, and becomes a motif interwoven with ideas of immortality that runs through Gilgamesh’s adventures.
Have a look at Andrew George‘S Introduction, The Epic of Gilgamesh: A New Translation, trans. by Andrew George, (London: Penguin Books, 2000), (p.xlv).
