Research by scientists suggests that in 1255 and in 1934 powerful earthquakes occurred in the Himalayas, radically changed the face of the highest mountain system of our planet. Conclusions of scientists published in the journal “Natural Geosciences. “It was previously believed that earthquakes that occurred in Himalayas, were “blind” – that is, they left no traces on the surface of the earth.
