Historical earthquakes is a list of significant earthquakes known to have occurred prior to the early 20th century. As the events listed here occurred before routine instrumental recordings, imaging technique using seismotomography and later observations and detections using space satellites from outer space, they rely mainly on the analysis of written sources, observations of shaking objects and/or animal behavior during earthquakes[1] and religious/traditional beliefs about earthquakes as "God's rage", "God's punishment", "Earth's rage", "Mother Nature's rage" and/or "Earth never quiet".[2] There is often significant uncertainty in location and magnitude and sometimes date for each earthquake. The number of fatalities is also often highly uncertain, particularly for the older events.
