Where was the first earthquake?

In China. It was during the Xia dynasty,it happened in the year 1831 BC. __________________________________________________________________ Date: May 526 Location: Antioch (Syria, Turkey regions) Death Toll: 250,000 The Event: Not much is known about the Antioch earthquake beyond its staggering death toll of a quarter-million people. Historians estimate that the event occurred between May 20 and May 29 of 526. It remains one of the most brutal earthquakes in recorded history, despite coming in at VIII on the Mercalli scale, four notches below No. 5 on this list. The tremor reportedly set off a fire that caused widespread property damage to structures within the hold of the Byzantine Empire, a portion of the Roman Empire that at the time boasted a population in excess of 34 million. In just a few minutes nearly 1 percent of them were gone. By comparison, that would be like losing the entire city of Chicago, Illinois, in one fell swoop. __________________________________________________________________
