The earthquake that changed history: 1755 in Lisbon

Update of 11/7/2022: Apparently, Lisbon is prone to heavy earthquakes. "Chronologically, it was the third known large scale earthquake to hit the city (following those of 1321 and 1531)". Every about two hundred years? The next one is overdue?
The earthquake of 1755 shaked Christianity! All churches were destroyed on a major holy day of worshiping. Only the brothel survived so they say.


Recommendable! The day the modern age was born!
Why the heck were the Portuguese language speakers not translated by voice???? In this day and age with AI this is as easy as pie!
