Hello everyone !
The thunderbird and the whale
Another Native American legend tells of a thunderbird, a supernatural and benevolent being, diving into the ocean to seize a terrible whale that deprived the Quileute tribe of precious resources.
During this merciless struggle, powerful waves are generated, and many people are killed.
The thunderbird eventually manages to grab the whale and throws it onto the mainland, causing a powerful earthquake.
During the 1980s, geologists discovered that a powerful earthquake struck the Pacific Northwest in the 17th century, causing a terrible tsunami that reached Japan and the American coasts where the tribe lived.
The thunderbird is said to have been inspired by the Aiornis, a giant raptor (5 meters wingspan) that lived in North America in the Pliocene.
Good day and good game ;)
