Geologists from your grandfathers era were a REALLY smart bunch. I majored in geology.

This makes me wonder about the salt deposits and a story my mom used to tell us long ago. Being born and raised in Calabria Italy, until her early 40's before migrating (legally) to the U.S., Calabria was a short ferry ride to Sicily...she would tell us stories of women going Sicily to smuggle salt placed in pockets in their undergarments which was illegal to purchase in order to bring back to the mainland. She had said that the salt from Sicily was far much better quality than the salt they were able to purchase in Calabria and smuggling it out of Sicily was a common practice among the Calabrese.

As far as I know the tectonic plate that the African border of the Gibraltar passage belongs to is currently moving north. At a rate of about 1 cm per year (roughly). So while that would close the passage again, it would be far too late for Venice, which is on its way to sink far, far earlier than that.

As a venetian I admit that it would be cool if it would happen, but it would be hugely overkill! It would be far easier to seal the entrances to the venetian lagoon, with dams or even dumping sand/clay. The current project (that should be completed soon) adds two layers of complexity: the first is that it can open and close the lagoon so that it won't become a salty swamp and to preserve the local ecosystem, the second is that they wanted it to be invisible when inactive. It would have been far easier, cheaper and faster to build movable dams like the ones they have in Holland, but it was decided that it would be too visually impacting. We have instead a set of boxes hinged to the ground under the water at the harbor mouth, that will be filled with air to rise them and block the water.

What needs to be done should be just compressors, actuators and electronics. Anyway there is a big unknown that is maintenance: we don't know how long the hinges will work (they already had problems in the past when small scale tests were done, but I think they made a new beefier design) especially if there's an abnormally strong wind like the one we had in November. Also we have yet to see if the space between the boxes and the see floor will stay clean, there are high pressure water nozzles for this task, but we'll have to see if they work in the real word against mussels that may block the boxes.

It would have been nice to also mention how the sand and silt blown out of the dry Mediterranean abyss covered north Africa's mountains and valleys to create the Sahara. What I recall from National Geographic about sixty years ago was that this closure and dry-out occurred seven times over the geologic record. And I just realized that our area of Texas, south of the Buried Ouachita mountains, has been under the sea seven times, per the geological record between the surface and the metamorphic basement. Some believe the apparent basement (metamorphic rock) is actually overthrusted by tectonic plate movements on top of even older sediments (the Buried Ouachita mountains once stood high like the Appalachians) which could be rich in gas and oil.

@@user-ii9bl6de2j You can't really prove anything, you can just figure what seems really likely and what works, and that's our best view of what the reality is. That's also what a theory is, it is a hypothesis that has been tested very rigorously. So, saying that something is just a theory doesn't really make sense.

@@user-ii9bl6de2j saying "all science is just theory until proven" seems misleading. Science is both a process of discovery AND a body of knowledge complied from those discoveries. The word "theory" in science also has a specific meaning, which someone else has pointed out.

Makes you think why and how ancient Greeks believed and came up with their myth that Hercules pushed apart the pillars of Gibraltar.

All of this happened way, WAY before Homo Sapiens was on the scene, but if you're a believer in racial memory (or perhaps if oral tradition stretched back farther into the past than paleontologists have managed to unearth), it's not impossible for our earlier ancestors like, say, Homo Erectus to have perhaps witnessed such an event (an enormous flood that seemed to never end, for nearly two years!) to have passed on stories about it to their descendants, and it survived/evolved into modern myths about worldwide floods.

Because Pillars of Hercules didn't refer to Gibraltar back then. It was later that romans started to refer to the mountains on each side of the gibraltar strait as pillars of Hercules.

As a Mediterranean person the thought of our sea drying up again instinctively fills me with dread even though there's no way I'm gonna be there to see it happen (we're closer to being submerged, right now)
