If the different reasons do not change the result, we are looking for the cause-effect relationship in the wrong place, especially for earthquakes.
Since the 1999 lake earthquake, people have started to talk about incredible conspiracy theories. Especially the fact that the United States of America passed through the Bosphorus before the 17 August earthquake was 7.4, and according to official reports (!), those who attributed the death of 17.480 citizens to this event were not to be underestimated.
In earlier years, earthquakes were generally seen among believers as a punishment from God to people on earth. In the panel organized by the Turkish Geophysicists Association in the 70s (the Chamber of Geophysics Engineers had not been established in those years), an inscription is written on the wall; that article is ‘EARTHQUAKE IS NOT DIVINE PRESENTATION’ and the year is 2023. When we go to much older years, prehistoric civilizations generally attributed the occurrence of the earthquake to different causes; like the ox that they think is holding the earth shakes the horns.
Let’s come to the real issue, in Japanese mythology, ‘Namazu’ is a giant catfish that is thought to cause earthquakes. His story is also interesting; The Sky God Kashima holds the catfish, Namazu, underground with a huge stone on his back; Namazu, on the other hand, causes earthquakes on the ground by wagging his tail whenever Kashiman is distracted. These examples can be multiplied, each civilization creates various stories on different subjects according to their own beliefs and customs. Today, with the changing and incredibly developing technology, such mythological stories have started to evolve and HAARP has become the ox holding the world on your shoulders, Namazu waiting underground with a stone on your back, the titanium sent to you from space.
Well, I ask you, regardless of the cause of the earthquake, is it not in the hands of us, the sons of Adam, to change the outcome? Is it the fate of thousands of people who were left under the rubble or the nature of living in the world, even if it is caused by external forces or by the tectonic movements of the earth, even if it is caused by the ox, or even if it is caused by the tectonic movements of the earth and will continue for millions of years?
In my opinion, whether the ground is loose (sandy, etc.) or hard (rock, etc.), if you do not know the ground on which you step, run and live, and if you do not build suitable settlements on that ground, these destructions and deaths will continue, and believe me, what is the culprit of this? Neither that strange ox that holds it between its horns, ‘Namazu’, which was imprisoned underground with a stone on its back, nor anything different, we are the only culprits for this.
