Mount Etna's eruption in 1669 was first reported to cause the death of near 17,000 people and letting 27,000 homeless. However, later studies revealed that there have only been 77 confirmed human deaths directly related to Mt. Etna over the years.
The former reports can be assumed to be a confusion, made by the news media, with the earthquake that took place in southeast Sicily, in 1693.
it erupted in march 11 1669
Mount Etna has erupted hundreds of times before 1669, with recorded eruptions dating back to at least 1500 BC. It is one of the most active volcanoes in the world, constantly erupting throughout history.
it happdnt in 2009no it didnt!!!!!!!!!!!!! it erupted in 1500 B.C.!!!!!!!!!1
mount etna did not erupt in 1669.
20,000 people died in 1669
Well the question needs to be a bit more precise because Mount Etna has erupted many times and killed no doubt millions of people but I do know that the death toll in the eruption of 1669 (which is Mount Etna's biggest eruption) is 17,000. Hope this helped :)
