  2. When Thera did erupt the sthe volcano,Thera, gave the local population a few months' warning before it epruted

  3. Lost city of Atlantis • Three and a half thousand years ago a volcanic eruption ripped through the sun washed world of the Aegean with a ferocity surpassed rarely in all of recorded history. The eastern half of the Mediterranean Sea was blanketed with fallout and the climate of the entire planet changed; the effects were felt around the world. Tsunamis smashed coastal towns along the entire width and breadth of the Mediterranean Sea. This disaster was so profound that it gave rise to one of the most enduring legends of human history: The lost city of Atlantis. Many details of this cataclysm are forever lost to antiquity, but by comparing the geological and archaeological remains of the eruption of Thera, now known as Santorini, with observed and documented volcanic eruptions of more recent years, a surprisingly accurate recreation of the events can be presented

  4. Narrative • I am a Minoan and I live in Europe’s first great civilization, we can be found on the island of Crete. My name is Sasha and I am walking, with my little brother to my father’s small business of boat making. Since we live on an island we make a fair amount of money to live a partially normal life. As I’m walking through the market holding my little brothers hand. I feel the earth move, I look around and see if anyone else notice. They didn’t seem to so I shrug get off and keep walking. We’re walking along the coast now when I hear a rumble, everyone including myself look around only as I glance at the volcano that also lives on an island to hear another rumble louder than the one before. To see hot, smoldering lava swell out of the top and fall down the sides, quickly towards were we stand. No one moves until someone screams and all of the sudden people pushing and shoving at each other trying to get to the boats that are our only connection to the land. I quickly pick up my brother and start running. I shove and push only to trip on someone else; I can all ready fell the lava’s heat rushing towards us.I decide to give in to the lava demands of life ending and it goes black
