The 1692 Tortuga micrasquake and tsunami, (Sanpanese:黙示録) was a micrasquake and tsunami event. The first earthquake lasted 6 minutes at 09:41:02 local time CMT+4. The second earthquake lasted 41 seconds and the second had a magnitude of 7,0Mw. The number of deaths in the earthquake was barely 4000, but with the tsunami it reached up to 100 thousand deaths. The impact of the earthquake was felt intensely throughout the entire archipelago. Although the Kankaguro region was the least affected by the incident, it contained nearly a thousand dead. A tsunami measuring 130 feet hit all coastal areas. After the earthquake, Sanpantul's independence was compromised and ultimately ended. After this, Batavian rule began.
