- The eruption of Santorini in 1615 BC covered the town of Akrotiri with meters of volcanic debris. Today, archaeologists are in the process of excavating it-and marveling at its remarkably preserved ruins.

I like how Bettany Hughes can express her emotions as in "it's a privilege to be here" and "it's heartbreaking." These expressions help to bring the ancient Minoan civilization closer to us. Thank you.
I get it. Most would tell us about the devastation but not humanize it. I was thinking the same thing.
I have learned and enjoyed every documentary or video by Bettany Hughes. I can understand easily the way she explains and makes it all clear. I also like her voice. I look forward to any new Bettany Hughes shows or videos. Thank you Smithsonian!
I absolutely adore Bettany Hughes
I Love Bettany Hughes. She always reminds me of how great learning about history is.
Akrotiri and The Minoans combined is actually thought to be the inspiration behind the Atlantis myth as Akrotiri was actually part of the Minoan Empire. Which it self was devastated by eruption and the massive tsunami it caused leading to the fall of the Minoan Empire.
Yessss, never forget Santorini
Wow.. I would love to see a more detailed documentary with artifacts and more close up views. Can't wait to see what the future excavations will reveal
Thanks my dear teacher, God Bless you
I want her job. How exciting it must be to go there!
Fascinating ....... I want to see more 👍🏻
Please post more videos on this topic
Great
The Minoan island of Thira was destroyed by a massive eruption, all that's left is the volcanic caldera. Some seismologists reckon that the eruption would have easily hit 9 on the Richter scale, and probably have caused the "Parting of the 'Red Sea'"
We will never know
Must have been absolutely terrifying. But in places that are prone to this type of geological activity people become terribly complacent and sometimes to their own demise.
Mother nature eats us for breakfast.
The lady explains history beautifully and makes it easy to imagine how it was.
Why isn't this available on Paramount+? The only reason I subscribed to it was to continue getting Smithsonian.
No bodies were found. It is said that this settlement was abandoned before the eruption. I have been there and that’s what the guide said.
Cool,this place doesn't get enough attention.
Part of the earliest sophisticated european civilisation. There's also the Vinca culture and the Cucuteni tripolje cultures nearby... Just waiting to be presented by Bettany Hughes...! ! !
Ahhh miss bettany Hughes 💞💞
I'd still love to spend a week on a Greek island with her...I remember once wanting very badly to go swimming with her in Crete.
@@rickb1973 I remember the exact time she was there ☺️ I would of married her that day 🥰
@@rossboss555 LOL! I thought you might remember, if you're an archeology geek like me.
@@rossboss555 Apparently, she was quite open to the idea, but then she realised that she couldn't possibly spend the rest of her life with a man who wrote "would of" rather than "would have". Sadly, that was the deal breaker for Bettany.
not sure about the coming back part. i heard in another video that they havent found any corpses so far.
I didn't expect that so many people would express their appreciation for Bettany Hughes so clearly.... But I came here for the same reason. She was and is the best guide to minoan civilisation. A lovely and great woman... ♥️!
Thank you for giving us Americans a conversion from meters to feet😂
I love Bettany Hughes, her way of describing things paints such a wonderful picture. I love her series on the Spartans is pretty amazing.......and she's easy on the eyes to boot:-)
What I wouldn't give to be part of that excavation team.
🌎🤗🇲🇽
Not quite. Half of the island went down. The rest was covered with volcanic ash, not lava.
e p i c
How did the gold not melt?
Yo, early to a Smithsonian vid?!?
Nice! Good to see you’re living the dream ✌️
இந்தியாவில் குறிப்பாக தமிழ் நாட்டில் இது போன்று வியக்கத்தக்க வகையில் இன்னும் பல கன்டுபிடிப்பு கீழடி அகழாய்வு செய்யப்பட்டு வருகிறது அதையும் இது போன்று கானெளி எடுத்து உலக அளவில் காண்பித்தால் நல்லா இருக்கும்
This is Atlantis
hi
Yeah volcanic, lava, magma, fire, flame, smoke, steam, fog, and smaug cause major dislodged
Yes they do
Yes, yes they do
Was a secret society
Ｔｈｉｃｃ
Who was first, and who is best known. It would more rightly said that Pompeii is the Romans Akrotiri. That is to say Pompeii is liken unto Akrotiri because-----------
And is oldest than Pompeii
Older, but both towns suffered the exact same fate. Although I would say vesuvius was a bigger eruption but no one truly knows
Way too short of video!!! C’mon!
Let's get the fact straight... It was NEVER a Greek town, but a Minoan town!!!
Most people in London live in worse dwellings than these in the present day.
first
Nope
@@kokoslegend4850 yes
@@Ray_Sh0rts7 no you can't see untill you refresh. Somebody was earlier
@@kokoslegend4850 i was refresh so what the first?
who* btw there was no view
Hey Hiroshima and Nagasaki .suffered worst .got and Chen the towns
I’m not heartbroken. At all.
Why
This woman is full of it. The lies she tells to hide the truth and turns history into some type of weird entertainment. That's why she's always hired.
🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
These places soo overrated. Yes they're settlement. Yes they're burried alive with volcanic ash.
But.. Do you guys ever wonder what happen to villages and towns near Krakatau Volcano when it errupts?
The eruption that can be heard even from Africa. (yes it's KRAKATAU. Not Krakatoa. Pls spell things right)
That's the real deal.
Not Pompeii and this thing..
This "thing" was a civilised place 3.500 years ago, and the first destroyed "thing" by the volcano. The rest was a whole famous and large civilisation which was collapsed within days.
@@georgiossarantitis3208 God's wrath
This eruption was many times that of Krakatau which was not an inhabited island. You're conflating Tambora with Krakatau.
since you say so...
I think this lady needs to learn more hisotry and read them carefully because she is missing a lot greeks didn’t exist until the 1821 back than Greece was called Morea two it was under yllirian lands so go lady you need to go back to school
🤣🤣🤣
is this a late april fool's joke?
Not a north macedonian with its propaganda here. Get a life and better education!
